Edit: now it's in the right thread... and I'm going to be very high on painkillers all afternoon now.
you and i can be painkiller buddies then :biggrin1:
somewhere around the end of august, i managed to not only break but essentially shatter my right arm (distal ulna) on a sailboat. at night. trying to go to the restroom after playing titanic ("i am the king of the world!") on the pulpit. i can't blame it on alcohol either. my companion loves wine but i'm not a big wine person so i only had a sip of his to taste.
i thought i could be all chuck norris about it too, so i insisted i was fine. when i woke up in the morning it was swollen beyond belief and the funny thing is i still insisted i was fine...we fought for about an hour about whether to go to the ER.
eventually we went, and it was determined i would need surgery. that was 3 weeks ago today. i got screws, a plate, and a dangerous-looking scar. my whole family went with me to my 1st follow-up appointment, and after the surgeon talked to us my dad decided to wittily announce, "hey at least you got screwed!" :laugh:
i am now officially a leftie. my writing looks pretty darn good i must say, but i have to weight the paper down since i can't hold it with my right.
i have a friend who says at least i busted my wing doing something as mysterious as midnight sailing...though in the future i might tell everyone i was smuggling top secret documents.
of course, my doctor gave me plenty of pain pills. i don't need them every 2 hours like i did right after the surgery thank goodness.
another thing is that i've managed to set my hair on fire blowing candles out on a birthday cake not once but twice (16th and 18th, i believe). my dad was there to save the day both times. :smile:
