Sounds painful, although I'm glad to see it wasn't too serious and I hope shes back in the ring soon.
A stinger isn't to bad for a wrestler. Just depends on its severity. If it's like Stevie Richards stinger in '97 then it could be really bad and might need an operation or it could be like Chris Sabin's just a few weeks recovery. Hope she's ok, I like her, she's zombie hot
I'm glad that there was no nerve damage. Daffney really lucked out. She's probably going to be gone for a few weeks with the bruised sternum.
Daffney has posted a new blog entry, discussing her recent injury, here is what she had to say…
Hello Daffanatics!
Just wanted to write ya'll a note to give you a little more info about lil 'ol me. I know my injuries were reported as having a severely bruised sternum, and a really bad stinger (common wrestling/football injury) but I also had a minor concussion. Thankfully - the hit to the head was nowhere near as bad last October when I decided jumping in barbed wire looked like fun.
I sunset flipped my opponent but she stayed standing - then she sat down which caused the bruised sternum. Honestly, after that, I went into auto-pilot mode. I do not remember the rest of the match - even the finishing move (sitdown spinebuster) and the 1-2-3. You can ask any wrestler if they have finished a match while they were unconscious, and almost everyone of them will tell you they have.
Next thing I remember was Andrew Thomas (our awesome ref) saying, "Trainer!" He said I was laying there with my eyes wide open and asked me numerous times if I was okay - but I must have been in my own little world as I recall nothing of that.
When the trainers & everyone came to the ring, our TNA on site trainer came up near my head and I told him that my lower sternum hurt. I also told him my neck hurt - yet felt weird and it felt very warm. He then told me to go ahead and straighten my leg. From the hush that fell and tense vibe in the air, I said, " It's not moving, is it?" They all distracted me with other routine questions. A few minutes later he asked me to wiggle my toes. Same tense air that could be cut with a butter knife. Me: "They're not moving, huh?" The whole time I just stared straight to the top of the Impact Zone and prayed. Everyone around me was saying reassuring things so I just stayed still and answered questions. The next time I was asked to wiggle my toes, I could feel them going - and there was a collected sigh of relief. Stingers - (especially bad ones) can make you go numb for a short while - so once the sensation came back I kept praying, "It's just a stinger. And NO - my sternum/ribs aren't broken..." X-rays at the hospital showed just that.
Are you there God? It's me...Daff.
SO! Not much one can do for those injuries. A stinger is just VERY scary at first. Then your neck tightens up and is sore - so I have already begun some stretching. The sternum is a deep bruise. So that will just take a little while.... But ya'll know me...I'm a fighter!
Let me also take this opportunity to say how sorry I am to you, Angelina, for injuring your arm. I wish you a very speedy recovery and am SOOOO glad you won't need surgery!!!!
And to Gen AKA LuFisto. Please let's all pray for her. I didn't know about her stroke until I read about my own injuries and was completely shocked. I just saw her at the last Shimmer tapings and she was sweet, bubbly Fisto! I am sending positive energy to you, you crazy Canuck!
Scream on!
Daff
Glad she's ok.
I'll be more than happy to dress up as a doctor and nurse Daffney back to health. I may even consider a nurse's outfit if she sweet talks me enough. haha
Seriously, though, hope she gets a speedy safe recovery.

It's too bad for Daffney. She was finally being featured, even if TNA's knockouts division is currently shit thinks to whoever is booking it.

He's saying being impaled by a stinger isn't too bad for wrestlers. I mean, firstly, it depends highly on the stingers. Scorpions stingers can be venomous at first, but can be treated quite easily by antibiotics if taken to a medical facility asap (usually staff on hand at wrestling promotions to treat such things). Larger stingers, like sting rays for instance, can be more lethal, and may need to be surgically removed (I think this was Stevie Richards' case in 97?) However, the muscle mass of wrestlers usually nullifies it. Stevie and Sabin are smaller dudes, so they had a bit more trouble with em, but they came out ok. Idiot.
