dislocated

2004.04.29 23.53

I volunteered to play volleyball last week and was hoping that my newly trimmer self would be a better player.

I was way wrong.

At first I had trouble locating my coworkers at the park. I drove around it three times and was just about to give up when I thought I spotted five people around distant volleyball net. I parked, walked a short distance, and in no time I was playing volleyball. I was doing fairly poorly (as usual). Everything seemed to be going fine with my abilities UNTIL... I dislocated my finger while trying to return the ball. It hurt. A lot. It was grotesque. I didn't scream and cry, however. I just thought I'd broken my finger. A trip to the emergency room, one x-ray, one snapped back joint, and a follow-up x-ray later, I'm sorta kinda good as new. Except for the splint. I'm able to type fairly well with only nine fingers, though, so I guess my ability to do work isn't affected in the slightest. We'll see how my workout routine is now affected. Cardio, anyone?
