Well, I didn't "knock on wood," so in the fifth and final game of his Labor Day soccer tournament he was hit hard enough to be injured. He finished the game that Monday morning, but later showed us the bruising and swelling. When it did not significantly improve the next day, we took him to the doctor.
The doctor diagnosed an injury which will need surgery in the long run to relieve discomfort, but in the short run just needs rest. He could play again once the pain and swelling subsided. After another week and a second doctor visit, he was told to wait a few more days.
Today he was feeling fine, able to run and jump without pain, and will be back at sports full time on Monday. Today the sun came out consistently for the first time in two weeks.
Since his injury, all his soccer practices and games have been postponed due to the rain and sog. He won't have missed a thing.

woot woot!!!!!
I love that he didn't miss anything!! But please still rest as much as possible!
Telling a boy to rest is like telling a duck to stay on dry land - it ain't happening! He is back in football as of last Friday and refereed 4 soccer games this weekend.
Believe me, you don't want to be around if he hasn't been able to expend his energy.
