So, my dad has to have surgery on his wrist on Monday. Apparently, he fractured the ulna, broke the radius 3 different ways, the ball at the joint is broken, and the plate at the joint was moved somehow. When they tried to set it and put a cast on it the other day, it was still off an 1/8th of an inch. So his options were to either leave it that way, have bone rubbing on bone for a long time, have arthritis in a few years, and have to wear a cast for at least 2 months. With the surgery, they'll go in, fix it, he'll wear a wrap on it for like a week, and then a splint for a few weeks, and go from there. Oh, and it was his left wrist at least, so he can still write and stuff.
Went to Amy's for beer pong last night. Ohhh, good times. Best of all was when Lyndsay and I left. First, we met some drunk girls on the sidewalk who were just standing and staring up at the sky. When we got to them they asked if we knew if it was the big dipper or the little dipper that they were looking at. Right off the bat, without even looking, Lyndsay says "It's the big dipper." I looked and decided it was the little dipper. We walked away and Lyndsay's like "Honestly, I didn't even see a dipper." Then when we were walking down Water St. we were about to cross 3rd Ave (or 4th? whichever one.) and some guys stopped us. The following coversation is quite possibly the greatest drunken conversation I've ever had in my entire life. I know I'm missing parts, but I think all the important stuff is here:
Drunk guy on Water: "Are you girls going to that bar right there?" (points to The Pickle)
Me: "No..."
DGoW: "Good, cuz we don't want you to get any STDs."
Lyndsay: "Nope, not going there."
DGoW: "We don't wanna hit on you or anything, but it's this guy's birthday tonight." (points to a friend)
Me: "Really? It's my birthday on Saturday."
Other Guy: "Yeah for April birthdays! They're awesome, cuz like, they're in the springtime and stuff..." We high-five.
DGoW: "I wish there was a pool right here." (points to intersection) "On a scale of 1-10, how much do you love swimming?"
Me: "Hmm... 11."
Lyndsay: "11. Same as her."
DGoW: "You guys should make out right now, cuz you're both 11s."
Other Guy: "You can't pick 11, that's cheating."
Me: "I just really like swimming."
DGoW: "You guys are cheaters."
Other Guy: "I don't even want to talk to these girls anymore, they're cheaters."
We part ways.
Seriously amazing.
Also, I would just like to point out that it is my Birthday tomorrow.
drinking,
dad
