Amonte has been on the wrestling team for the past two years. The first year I was extremely pregnant and worked every weekend. Anyone who has ever been to a wrestling meet knows that they last ALL day and are generally on Saturdays. Needless to say I missed several. However, at one meet I watched the entire team of pubescent boys and girls with questionable hygiene SHARE the same pair of nail clippers with out sanitizing them in between. After I had a grandmal seizure I called the school to bitch and promptly bought Amonte his own pair.
Last year Amonte got a new coach. You know one of those really short guys who was an all state wrestler and thinks he's a total bad ass. Amonte broke his hand shortly after the season began so luckily I only had to tell the coach off twice.
The thing about wrestling is that it is a dirty, homoerotic sport, where 1/2 naked boys and sometimes girls grope each other and share body fluids. They also share huge nasty cooties like MERSA, other forms of staph, ring worm and herpes viruses. MMMMMM. NICE.
Well Amonte's midget coach was allowing 2 teenage girls to clean the mats with the wrong type of cleanser no less. Several boys on the team contracted staph infections including Amonte. One had a form of respiratory MERSA and nearly died.
This is why tonight I am blogging from Amonte's hospital room. For the past few months he has been battling huge, nasty abscesses on his hind end. The current one is so bad that he will be going to surgery tomorrow. I love this kid with all my heart but I have seen his ass more than Mark's lately. Thanks coach.

With all the buzz in the news about MRSA you would think schools and the like would catch on! Dear hubby had to have a surgical I & D for an abscess in his knee . . . seems the occupational health doctor who gave him the coritsone injection wasn't cleaning the shared vials of lidocaine correctly. That kept him out of work for 3 months - thank God for worker's comp.
ReplyDeleteHope Amonte's ass is better soon!

Zoe, sorry to hear this about Amonte. Hope every thing goes well and he is better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I hope everything goes ok with surgery. Sounds like.... fun... NOT! Hopefully the coach will get a clue and straighten his short ass up.
ReplyDeleteBTW.... I love that you put "Master Photographer" over in the sidebar. You CRACK ME UP!
Yuck. I hope all turns our well. That is why you were at the hospital last night.
ReplyDeleteI agree, wrestling is a disgusting sport.
That is Disgusting! I have never thought of wrestling that way before. Thanks, I don't think that I will allow my kids to do it. I hope that Amontes Ass gets better!
ReplyDeleteI knew there was a reason I was overjoyed when my stepson said he didn't want to wrestle anymore. I just felt bad watching him get his ass kicked every match, I didn't even think of the cooties, but that was before MRSA was running rampant.
ReplyDeleteI hope Amonte gets better soon!
ReplyDeleteHope he gets better soon!! My cousin is a wrestler so i know all of the gross stuff that goes along with it. Poor kid (and Mom)!!!
ReplyDeleteGod you'd think they would have enough common sense to keep everything properly cleaned and sanitized when it comes to children/school! I Hope your son does well in surgery!!!
ReplyDeleteoh - i hope surgery goes well and he heals up soon.
ReplyDeletei've never understood wrestling.
