He was hanging off a fist jam, his foot slipped and then something felt really really wrong. It ended up he broke the plate in his wrist.

So I'm playing with thai flavours in my cooking now. I lurve the Kaffir lime leaves. Tonight was a stir fry with the lime leaves, chili flakes, fish sauce, peanut butter and cilantro. Was really good, but scoping out some curries, etc, online I realized I'm totally missing thai basil. Not quite sure how to get my hands on some without growing it.

Naw, I got to see it, took a pic, but i don't really have attachment to those kind of things (and it came out so easily that it was not attached to me, huh huh). Was not super impressive, only about an inch and a half long. [image]http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/17456_293032241225_8091458_n.jpg[/image] ^ I was on some pretty heavy pain killers here. The ortho surgeon told me that if I were to have my tibial rod removed, it would be like rebraking the leg with a six month healing. Shit I don't think that the gerkz have done much surgery tawk yet! So, who has/had hardware? Kel, Me, Beccs, Doc, who else? Nathan has a femur rod. And I somehow feel like Mo should be included on this list, even if none of her hardware is internal. Oh yeah, was that from Nathan's meatdecking? doubtful? I think when he meatdecked the talus, he just ended up with a tear in his ass.

It's been hurtzing pretty bad at some of the points at which the ends of the pins are nearest the skin. Anyway, took off the Acewrap to bathe today, and sure enough we have a breech! Part of the pin is just fucking sticking out of the skin. Called the Doc (real doc, not PhD, JD, or Feelgood), and hopefully will get an appt in the next day, before I fly out to Yewtaw. If not, I may just have to bring out the needlenoezes, bite down on a stick, and yank the fucker out. That would probably be a good idea. Or not! Makes me glad that I don't have pins in mine Trust me, as soon as the Doc sez it's ok, he's gonna make like a grenadier and pull the pins. When I did mine, the trauma surgeon sewed them back together. Said that they were an absolute mess. Not a clean tear in any of them. Sewed the tendons that attach to the smallest three toes together to give more support. Of course when I had to have my second surgery, the foot and ankle specialist was mortified and re-did it all. Seperating them all. I now have a lot of scar tissue that hurts like hell when I do most anything. Hope yours turns out to me nothing but a temporary annoyance with no lasting impact. Ugh, yeah, I hope mine is not that bad. Now another one of the pins is hurting and threatening to break through. Glass still pushes through every now and then, but it never hurts. Fun party trick
