Tonight's report.

Me = FUBAR. Totally. Went for a tackle playing IM tonight, and hooked fingers around the opposition's flag belt as I was diving for the stop. Got the tackle. Possibly saved a TD.

But...

In my brilliant wisdom, I now have two fractures. Middle and ring fingers are broken. Going to be unable to play anything (or even write, for that matter,) for six weeks minimum. And if you thought that sucked, we lost the game, too. So I'm basically FUBAR'd. In all respects regarding marching band and athletic bands, too. ARGH!

I want to curse the opposition, who did not play a very fair and sportsmanlike game. The referees burn as well, for not calling a particularly good game. I'll stop just short of cursing Divinity for her bad timing. I will be aggravated at my inability to type on this keyboard with one hand without typing two letters at once...

...it goes downhill from here. This is going to suck royally.

We'll see what happens. For you see, exams and the final papers are now coming up on me, and if i can't write, well...

...plus the whole band thing. I'm hoping for a speedy recovery myself. Too much at stake to have it drag out on me.

Your profs, if they are understanding at all, should permit you to postpone your exams, or work something out with you. If not, consult the Dean of Academic Affairs. If that fails, transfer to Whitworth. ;)

I suppose this will be a good time to learn to be ambidexterous. Heh.

-=TK, wishing you a speedy recovery

Believe me, learning to write left handed would be a good thing right now. I'll ask if I can give an oral examination or be able to type my way through things at a somewhat reduced timerate. It's going to be very fun soon...

Well, at least you can still hold the 'bone, too... maybe you can get a tie or something so you can attatch the slide to your cast?

Hold, yes, for that's a left-hand thing. Play, not likely, sincce my fingers are bound together at the moment and my thumb hasn't got enough movement to be able to hold the slide securely.

There are ways... a little duct tape wraped and hooked around somehow...

Be inventive! Don't let a couple bone breaks come between you and the "Holy Instrument of Faith"!
