Nah Dude? She's intensely Metal! Rock on, TK!

[Antmeister]

Oh crap....what happened this time. Did I miss a thread or something?

[Draft Dodger]

that's a hardcore shocker

[terpkristin]

No missed thread...naturally less than a week after I say I've been good for awhile (see the thread on FOFC in my dream...), this happens.

I was working out with my trainer at the gym and sometimes he has me hit a heavy bag. Though I wrap my hands, apparently I didn't wrap my wrist well enough, as I cocked my wrist and hit with the 4th and 5th knuckles instead of 2/3. I think if it'd been my left hand, I'd have been ok but I've broken the 5th twice before (once in late 2002 when I punched the brick wall, once last year who know how), so I guess there's a weak spot there or something.

Oddly, when I went to the doc, he asked if I've been having pain or anything other than after hitting the bag, he said that the bone doesn't look "right" (something's not right with it but without scans or whatever else, he can't tell), and that he's surprised I don't have cartilage problems. I've not been having issues with it, so for now he's just going to focus on treating the fracture (and I have no intention of worrying about anything else being wrong with it unless my hand starts hurting and/or I can't use it). I go back in 2 weeks, hopefully by then it'll be well-enough healed to remove the cast and get on with life.

Thanks, my hand fetish for the year is satisfied.

Wow! Look at the good side of this. When all of your bones heal from the constant breaking, it will be stronger than ever. You will then be punching holes in the wall by accident and knocking people out cold when you accidently head butt them during those intimate encounters. :D

You have an abnormaly skinny thumb.

Tell people, "You should see the other guy..."

Also, it appears as if you're slowing losing your advantage over simians. Next thing you know, you'll lose the ability to use your opposable thumbs.

Do you have a counterpart that looks remarkably like Bruce Willis living near you? :D

They will build you stronger and better, TK.

Real sorry to hear this, TK -- you've been through a ton already. Hopefully it's a quick, (relatively) painless recovery.

I'm left to wonder how much milk you drank as a kid, though :)

Actually as a kid, my 2 siblings and I went through about a gallon every other day. As an adult, I buy 2 gallons/week. ;)

Of course, most of my injuries have been soft tissue...this is the only bone I've ever broken...I've just broken it 3 times now. Oh well.

Hey brad. Seriously, sorry to hear about the injury TK. Unseriously, at least you have a new cast to, uh, play with. :)

[spleen1015]

Sue the trainer. He should have known this was going to happen.

[firebirds]

TK, sorry about the accident. I honestly hope that your not right handed and . . . . . well I'll just leave it at that.

Well played :)
