Last rugby game for a while

Late last September I went along with Jeremi to attend my first ever Jena rugby game, to see Jeremi play. The game was in Berlin, and we got a ride up with another teammate of Jeremi's, and were very entertained on the trip up by the Armenian cartoons his son was watching on the portable DVD player.

Once there, I settled in to watch, trying to get a couple pictures of the game. I was really trying to get a picture of Jeremi's shorts, which were completely ripped up the back so you could see his underwear throughout the game, but without success.
The game wasn't going well for Jena, in fact they ended up losing by thirty-some points, I think. (They're really not one of the stronger teams in the league, but it's still fun to play.) But then disaster struck, and Jeremi injured his back, pretty badly. Here he is writhing on the ground in pain:
The next day he could barely get out of bed, and went to see the doctor. They were pretty sure it was a pulled muscle rather than a disk or skeletal problem, and didn't want to x-ray him, and said it should get a bit better after about five days or so. And lo and behold, after five days he was able to walk again! (At least, he was able to walk further than to the doctor's office and back.) He had massage treatments and "fango" (basically treatment with a hot pad, which may or may not be made with a vulcanic mineral called fango) for several weeks afterward, and after a few months was back to normal. He's even playing rugby again, as of this year!
