More News at 11.So my "real post to follow" never happened and now I can't even remember what I was going to write about.
BUT
yes, but, I will not let the lack of knowledge of what I had planned to write about slow me down. NAY SIR, I say to you, NAY SIR.
Instead as inspired by my recent pavement induced wounds I would like to impart unto you some nuggets of knowledge that I have acquired over the many injuries I have sustained. Come with me, dear reader, and let us explore the realms of accident prone-ness.... If that makes sense... or something.... TO THE LIST!!!
1. When falling, try not to fall on the knee you injured snowboarding already because that will "seriously wreck your shit", as the kids say.
Unless you like limping. If you like limping everywhere then by all means ignore this first piece of advice and be comfortable with the fact that you are a crazy hunchback who lives in a bell tower/mad scientists lab.
2. If you think that your wrist might be broken, do not wait 2-6 weeks to see if it gets better because "it might just be a sprain."
The odds might be in favour of a sprain but inconveniencing yourself for a few X-rays is probably better than having a doctor tell you three months later that "There are too many bones in the wrist to break it again and then cast it, I guess you'll just have to learn to put up with the pain."
3. Teachers don't accept a somewhat slurred "I'm a little concussed" as an excuse to show up to class and not do work.
They will tend to go on and on about a place called a "hospital" and how you should "go there." They may also point out that your eyebrow is caked with dried blood.
4. "I'll just go faster" is not always an acceptable solution when on a skateboard.
Sometimes it just means that you will fly just that little bit farther when your board decides that the edge of the sidewalk is a good place to stop moving.
5. If everyone around you is insisting you have a concussion and all you can do is mumble "no, no, I'm fine" and stare blankly at the mop in your hands and wonder why you picked it up then you probably have a concussion.
Seriously. You should really go to a hospital.
