In high school I got one kicked back into my body by a wild kick in a soccer game, dude straight punted that thing into my guts. Then it swelled and refused to drop. Almost had to have surgery but it did descend on its own. I’ve had some other serious injuries in life but that, that was a level all its own.

  I guess I’d always taken balls to be more like a bouncy ball than a ball of yarn, but TIL. Also added “my balls unraveling” to the list of lurking fears.
