General: December 2002 Archives

OK. So I haven't been updating all that much as of late - not so much as a Christmas post with a picture of a sweater. Well here's why:

I broke my hand on the 21st of December. Ugh! 30+ and falling apart. The break was to the 5th metacarpal on my right hand, just below the knuckle. In fact it was a bit more grizzly than that as the knuckle went under the bone - ouch!

But the "real" pain came when the doctor set it. No pain killers, no whiskey, no stick to bite on: just dark ages "I'll pull, you scream." Truth is, I nearly passed out after my cries to heaven echoed through the hospital unanswered.

How did it happen, you ask? Here are your choices:

a) I got into a fight with a biker when he tried to steal my girl.
b) Bad tennis accident while vacationing in St. Bart's.
c) Tripped down the stairs while carrying christmas presents to the car - saved the gifts, sacrificed hand.
d) Fell out of a tree while studying moss in the Costa Rican rain-forest.
e) Owed somebody (bent nose) money.

Whatever the answer, I have a little trouble doing the normal, everyday things - like eating, peeing or typing. The cast comes off in a week or two & I'll be back to normal (and the gym). Peace & Happy New Year!
