well truth be told, i did start practicing again a few weeks back, but this past wkend, i decided i was superwoman and could hoist a large tv set up 3 flights of stairs.
turns out i couldn't.
the dang thing was way too heavy, i lost my footing, tried to keep the set from sliding down the stairs & breaking, and in the process, tore my index finger from end to end.
i didn't even really feel the cut happen, but when i looked at my hand i saw a rather gaping and bloody wound, with lots of open flesh. i left the tv in the lobby, ran upstairs, did the cold water/gauze and ice thing, then went to the ER, where i got stitched up.
i'll be ok, provided no infection comes up, but i will require reconstructive surgery & physical therapy, as i macerated some tissue. it was a rather nasty cut.
so now i have a fair excuse to not play drums...and buy a flat screen tv
smoggarina, the one-handed typing demon
ps the friggin' tv is fine.
