So this is going to sound like I made it up but last night in training I ate a knee to the groin that caused my left ball to swell to the size of an apple. It left me whining like a stuck pig and in so much pain that I drove myself to the hospital.

That turned out to be the right choice because they determined I had a "Fractured and Ruptured" testicle and had to give me emergency surgery last night at midnight. The doctor said my ball "popped like an egg" and the surgeon told me there was a chance I'd lose my testicle before putting me under.

I'm happy to report that they were able to save lefty but now I have to take some time off training, pay a fucking hospital bill, and deal with the pain of an exploded left nut.

All this could have been avoided. Don't be like me, wear a cup!
