I used to try and train take downs with him as much as possible for obvious reasons. Anyway, one day he threw me and I landed on my side with my belt knot right over my kidney. Big round bruise looked like the marbling on beef, perfect circle over my kidney.

Anyway, next day I start pissing blood and it fucking hurts. So I hit up the Doctor and point out the bruise plus tell him what happened. First thing he says is it's for sure an STD and I have to get tested for that. I again show him the bruise and ask if maybe that could be the problem? Nope, he insures me this kind of thing is almost always an STD. So off I go for testing. Totally clean of course. A week later the Doctor tells me it's probably some sort of trama to my Kidney. Gee, you think?
