Ah, breaking stuff. It's fantastic stuff, isn't it?
I broke an all-too-necessary toe at school once -- or should I say a 'friend' of mine did, by dropping a bloody great big piece of metal on it -- and was crutches-bound for a good two weeks. And now it aches in winter. Yay!
And I broke my nose playing footy one time, going up for a mark and violently introducing myself to a mate's forehead while he was after the very same ball. Didn't hurt, but the blood was pissing out like nothing I'd ever seen before. Went to the school office to get some Sick Bay action, and what's the first thing the office lady says to me? "Don't get any on the carpet." Not "Are you alright?"; "Don't get any on the carpet." For fuck's sake.
The moral of this story, or plural thereof? I should never play sports. Or take Metalwork classes.
So, yeah. Get well soon, champ.
Cheers.
Adam.
