Faint

I thought I was going to faint today. I was at sword team practice sparring with Derek. He had a poleaxe, I had a staff. I deflected his poleaxe upwards to get in close to hit him with my staff, but he swung the butt of the axehandle right into my throat. The non-padded butt of the weapon, mind you. I have pictures if anyone wants them. I thought I was going to faint. It hurt a lot.
