Cats don't always land on their feet

Gather 'round kiddies, i got a story to tell.

Jess and I visited my mom earlier this evening. They treated us to dinner at the only restaurant in Jonesboro. We went in my dad's truck. His truck is a regular cab, which means that only 3 people can sit in the front. We decided to take his truck anyway so that we didn't have to take 2 vehicles. Jess and I rode in the back. We got to the restaurant and I hopped over the side like I've done 1000 times.

After dinner we drove across the street to the only convenience store in Jonesboro to get some ice cream for desert. I hopped over the side of the truck like I've done 1001 times. But this time my foot got caught under the lip of the inside of the bed. My body fell over the side. I put my right hand down instinctively to brace for impact. The left side of my body hit next whiplashing my head into the concrete. I felt a little woozy as I tried to get up. Suddenly, everyone is telling me not to move. I put my left hand up to my head to rub the pain out and felt blood. Now i get to ride in an ambulance. It's about 20 minutes to the nearest hospital.

Well I got my right hand X-rayed, and a CT scan. The CT scan came back fine, no concussion. I did manage to break my right thumb tho. My right hand is in a sling right now. I'm going to see a bone doctor in the next couple of days to see what they can do about it. That means no video games OR drawing for quite a while T_T

I'll keep you guys updated.

How the hell are you typing? WHY the hell are you typing? Rest those arty hands and get better, you truck-jumping fool!

I guess if he uses both hands but one one finger of his hurt hand to type, without moving his whole hand, it should be alright. But, I havent seen the hand, and of course, Im no doctor.

Well, My thumb is worse than I thought. I got what's called a Bennett's fracture. Basicly, the bone that connects my thumb to my hand has been broken and dislocated. I'm going to have sergury to put it back. I'm scheduled on the 6th.
