Danged Ball.

Fun… I get to type with one hand (left… and I'm right handed…). The reason is as follows:

I went to my martial arts school, and in the last minute or two of class, we ended up playing dodge ball. I was recoiling for a throw, when someone threw a large rbber ball at me, torqueing my arm backwards. My arm went numb, and I looked down at it, and it was sort of flopping around.. not good. I limped over to a seat and collapsed, and was almost unconscious for a few minutes, and, after that, I tried standing up and I felt a sharppain, along with nausia. We ended up getting the paramedics to transport me to a hospital… which sucked; they're too gruff.

Anyhow, after I got to the hospital, they payed with my arm, asking me tojudge the pain with that friggin' smiley rating system… I called it "a little pain" which misled them into thinking that I was fine… and, let me tell you, getting into position for the x ray was one of the most painful things I've experienced (morphene doesn't realy effect me) They decided that It would need surgery, as I was what's called a spiral fracture (bone broke in a spiral). They decided to send me over to a better hospital for the operation, and a morpheneless car ride over bumpy roads wasn't too fun…

I arrived at the hospital, and the specialist there laughed and told me that a surgery would be pointless, as It wouldn't help much, and It would have a chance f permanently paralizing my right hand…

They put me in a half stratjacket, which I have to wear for 2-3 weeks, then I get a cast. I also have to sleep vertically during this time… not too fun.

My wrist hurts, so I'm taking a break from typing….
