We had a kid my senior year rupture his spleen from landing on the football, which now that I say that, did Lockett? Seems like someone did. I’ll go through the game thread in a minute.

Anyway, he had the laparoscopic and was back at practice on the bike, 5 days after (Wed.), missed the game that Friday, was in full pads the following Wednesday and played that Friday with a flack jacket.

Had another friend who ruptured it skiing, had some bleeding complications so they had to cut him open. He could barely move for two weeks and took about a month be for he was “normal”. Using the word normal to describe anything about him is a stretch.

But when they make that big of cut through your abs and ribs it takes a while for it all to grow back together. The small cuts from the lap heal quickly and if you do get get hit and open a stitch, like Jason did several times, it hurts like hell but you just slap some neosporene on it and suck it up.

Here’s to hoping he got the lap and everything went well!!!
