my hand...

...is messed up. You may recall that I injured it just before going to Vegas by getting a bit too enthusiastic sparing with an upper black belt.  I clipped his hip or something else quite hard (dang iron-bone training).

I went to the doctor this morning for x rays.  Doc says I "impaled the end of my knuckle onto the bone behind it".  See below:


That's my right ring finger.  My knuckle will be a bit fatter, and my finger a bit shorter, from now on.

Fortunately, he says it was realigned very well.  I have to be sure to compliment Master David on that!  The doc put me into a splint, which turned out to be practically a cast.  
From TAM8He said if I "behave" I will get this off in 2 weeks, then depending on how it is doing either get a full cast or just buddy tape.

This kinda blows my Kung Fu for a while.  This month we are learning Kwon Dao, a long blade on a pole:  


Well, I won't be.  Can swing an axe with a cast on :(

Hell, I can barely type.  My CEO gave me a mic and advised I try the voice recognition built into Windows 7.  I have to admit it is shockingly good!
