How about some surgery?

duck

After a little trip to the hand specialist, I’m back with a new bandage/soft cast thing and an appointment to be knocked unconscious and have metal pins inserted into my finger on the 18th!

I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to spend my summer – maybe riding around, exploring Washington, maybe camping, maybe doing my own dishes. Well, all that will have to take a backseat to doing nothing for the next 6 – 8 weeks while I recover.

I cannot even use my right hand to type. Because of the cast thing, it’s impossible. I’m very right-handed, so this is all going to be interesting.

The job that caused this has nothing for me to do just yet, but might in a week or two.

It’s pretty annoying and kind of painful, but hey, nothing I can do about it.

The nurse asked me if I was on pain meds for the pain. I told her that I was not, that the pain wasn’t really all that bad. She was impressed with my level of pain tolerance. Go me!

In other news, the mix CD will still be out on the 15th. I still have to mess with some levels on it, but not a problem, really.

NOT GOOD. I want to “not like” this as much as possible.

I’m not a real huge fan of it, either.

Hmmm, this is the part where I would make a coy one handed typing joke but seeing you hurt, it just does not seem appropriate. Man, sorry to hear about the surgery.

Oh, I’ve been trying to find a slick way to throw one in there myself. haha

Thanks, it’ll be just fine.

The worst part is that now when you threaten people with a red-assed beatdown, you are slightly less likely to follow up. So many beatdowns left unfulfilled… so many asses, less red than they could be… sad.

Right, but I’m rockin’ a cast. I’ll soon embed spikes and razor blades into it just for fun.
