Well, its been almost a week since I've updated, but there is a VERY good reason for this.
Last Saturday night, my friends and I were at a party. A very dull party. So I think to myself "Self, what makes a party fun? Why, SWORDS, of course!" So I went and got swords and all was well and good, Then a drunk kid and I decided to sword fight. I gave him the sharper sword since I had more experience and didn't wanna hurt him. For the record, giving a drunk kid the sharp sword is never, ever a good idea. So our fight was all fun and games for a while. He scratched his hand, I bruised a knee, all in all fun. Then bad stuff happened.
After one particularly wild swing, I felt a slight discomfort in my left hand. I look down, and what do I see but a cut! Now we were outside at 2 AM so I couldn't tell much, but it did not look good. I run inside and up to the bathroom, rinse off some blood and see that my hand is literally slit halfway through the pinky bone. Ever see your own bone marrow? Its pretty sweet. One kid fainted. So I wrap it in a towel and yell at my friend TJ that we need to go to the ER.
We get there, and I'm admitted and given a bed and a piece of gauze to help stop the bleeding. People come in and look at it for like an hour or so, but they don't really do much for anout 3 or 4 hours. Some antibiotics shots and a tetanis shot and some X-rays, but nothing at all to the actual cut. But that's OK, coz the one nurse dude and I talk about metal for a while, which is cool.
The whole time, all I could think of was:
A) How much will this cost me? (nothing)
B) Will I regain use of my pinky? (yes)
C) Why oh why are there no nurses as cute as the SG's? I mean come on! I know Nic and Hel dig nurses! When a guy is laying in bed bleeding after a sword fight, I don't think there's anything he'd like more than a cute girlie to bring him some apple juice or douse his wounds in Iodine (which hurts in a very pretty way). Come on reality! Get with the program and synch up to my aesthetic sensibilities!!!
Around 5:30 they finally clean the sucker out\and stitch me up and send me home. Yesterday I went in for surgery, and I got 2 screws and a couple tendons sewn back together. WOOO! Now I'm made of metal!!!
So, all is well now. You can't kill me that easily. And that, my firends, is why you have not heard from me. Worth the wait, no?
