This Sucks!!
This Sucks!!
Don't know about you guys but today is one of those days that I wish could start over. Kids were driving me nuts and then I give in and play on their jungle gym. Big mistake!! I slipped and landed right on my hand with all of my weight from about 6 feet up in the air. Just got back from the hospital where they told me that I dislocated 2 fingers along with fracturing one of them.
I like to think that I'm pretty athletic and injury free. It seems like these last two years, I've just been breaking down. This is the 6th time that I've had x-rays in the last two years. That doesn't even include the pancreaitis (spelling?) and other illnesses that I've had. I'm only 29 but do you think it's just because I'm getting old?

Nahh... Yer not old....



A.) Roll down this big hill and right into a barbwire fence (I wasn't good at stopping)
B.) Go slowly over into a gravel parking lot and grab a truck and hope it keeps me standing..
Well, I chose B, and think I may have been better with the barb wire fence.. I go into the gravel slowly and I hit this one spot and my right foot went out from under me, then my left foot, then when I was trying to get myself back up I went back down on my right foot (picture cartoon skater with legs going all different dircetions) and my entire leg gave way. In doing so, I landed on it. My leg went 180* to the right. In other words my right hip was on the right side of my right foot all be it my foot was upside down.. I rolled over and felt it pop back into place and then I hobbled home. My mom wanted to take me to the ER, I refused, it healed on it's own in 3 months which I thought was much better than wearing a stupid brace for 6 months..

Hey man, I know your pain. I am quite athletic and so are these other guys.. mostly skydiving related injuries, but after you see these, you will probably be almost pain free 
Please do not look further if easily grossed out or eating....

Feel any better?
I can find the x-ray's if I need to with plates and screws.
Hope ya get well fast!~

Last year my mom broke 3 fingers dislocating 2 of them when she slipped and fell.
Luckily she's regained a good bit of movement since then, but it'll never be 100% again.

LOL, yeah wait until you hit your 40's. I'm 49, and the big change comes with your eyesite. I can see OK, but I can't focus as good as I could when in my teens or 20's. You will notice it when trying to read stuff like the newspaper or a menu.Originally posted by dadx2mj
Getting old at 29? Just wait till you get into your 40's then talk to me about getting old.
As for doing all those young and foolish things with kids, it depends on what it is. I don't try to push myself anymore like I did when I was in my 20's and racing go-karts like this one:

blimey; hope ur on the mend soon, stall6g. 
29 = old?!?! pffffffft!

Heh, after seeing those pictures I don't feel so bad. I know that it could have been worse but it sucks since I was going to play in a racquetball tourney this week, have color guard duties saturday and was going to a golf tourney on Sunday. Now I have to sit on the sidelines and drink beer I guess. I gamed for a little while on Diablo but anything that I would have to click on more would be a no go. Damn splint keeps hitting the right click wasting portals and crap.
