I knocked myself cold yesterday with a sledge hammer at work. I was tearing down some old corrals and hit a board and was on the ground with loose teeth. it was over my head and I think the handle bounced straight down into my right cheek, swelled up good, still sore. did make it out hunting this morning, saw lots of bucks but that season is done, least for me.
