TT Injured Reserve List

“You fell on your butt and hurt your middle finger?
I don't want to know!”

“Like she needs another reason to flip people the bird.”

“LOL. I was trying not to land on my knee! I think i fell very gracefully !”

“Gracefully? I turned around and you were face first in the ice!”

“I'm sure that was followed by a toxic cloud of profanity.”

“not this time. hurt!”

“How in the he11 does someone do a 'butt flop' and wind up on their face?”

“You have to take into account the bounce factor.”

“Sorry to hear about your finger Maple. I will be getting you some reading material soon.

I think I am going to pull my name off this list now. Doc will be taking my brace off tonight so I will get to walk like a normal person.”

“That's too bad, Maple, you'll probably going to need that finger to drive in NYC!”

“Stove and aero. I am not flipping you the bird really, just scratching my nose!”

“Hmmmm. "Bird." "Ice." Sounds like another frozen turkey incident to me....”

“Damn turkeys!”

“good one, Aero!”

“Ivygal, if your foot is out, that would be "duck-footed".

mapleleaf really did fall with style, and face-up.
She's lucky she didn't slide under my car.”

“you always seem to be hurtin yourself...whats up with that?”

“thank you tom. I think if i had to score it, i would give myself a 8.

thank god for padding!!”

“I think they call that "self-flagellation".”

“You fell on the last day of Fall.

What's up with that?

Are you down with it?”

“Naw Tom, she's just Maple. It's what she does.”

“ok buttheads,

no one ever fell and hurt there hand from trying to stop yourself from falling?”

“It's a rule of nature that every autumn the mapleleaves will fall.”

“Maple, my Mom did the exact same thing a couple months ago, and her hand is still messed up. The doc has looked at it twice now.”

“Sure mapleleaf, I fell on my ass and broke both wrists.


I didn't know about the finger though.

Is it the one you usually flip 'em off with?”

“yes!


but now I just pretend to scratch my nsoe.”

“I fell my first time snowboarding and broke my humorous clean through. The only good thing about the whole ordeal was the painkillers they gave me at the hospital. I swear the ceiling tiles were talking to me.”

“Doesn't sound very funny to me.”

“ss GROAN!”

“He broke his funny bone!”

“It was once the morphene (sp?) kicked in.”

“Watching penguins dissolve in acid is funny when you're on morphine...”

“You mean ceiling tiles don't talk?”

“Wtf??”

“Well, it is....”

“Actually they do, but I promised not to tell.”

“Is this where I register? I'm not sayinjg what's wrong, but after the past two weeks in Minnesota, I need to see a doctor! The easiest part of the trip was the snow shoveling, but I feel like I've been plowed under something! Maybe it's just the love bug.”

“If it's what is racing through the Chicago area, it's a nasty cold virus.

I think "THEY" injected me with it during the colonoscopy a week or so ago. Not sure what was in the IV needle!

But hope it's more the love bug for you, I think--are you ready? lol”

“There sure are a bunch of people walkin' funny around here. If I sprained that finger, it would impair my driving ability something awful.

Here, Maple. Maybe Santa will bring you some of these 'sidewalk crampons'. I'm glad to know that no one damaged their coccyx over the weekend.

Hey Aero --- is that like the joke where the guy gets punched in the nose and it breaks his finger?? LOL”

“Finally took a letter to my cardiologist's office yesterday explaining my plight. We'll see what happens next.
-------------------------
Today it hurts me to sit. Last night was my first aikijutsu class in a month. Near the end of class we each took a turn fighting off a herd of attackers. Somewhere I must have taken a good fall on my bottom.

Along the way, while waiting for some guy to demonstrate a throw on me, I took three hard kicks to the chest, which were ineffective on me. After the third kick I said the hell with this, grabbed his leg and gave him a flip. He'll do better next time. (In practive we give only partial resistance to someone who is practicing a technique. As such in every class we each put our bodies on the line to possible injury in order to help each other to learn and improve.)”

“hopefully it's just a bruised cocyx (sp) or something relatively minor like that.”

“Feel better NS!”

“I have recently bruised my midsection and it has swelled to massive proportions. This has also had the affect of causing my scales to groan when I even enter the same room with them.
What should I do?”

“I have this knot in my trapezious that only goes away when I XC ski? What should I do?”

“Son, you should not have a trapezious. Those things can be dangerous, unless you are a professional.”

“XC Ski more often!”

“Dunadan - Go backpacking. Else I'm going to out bag you this year! I already have one!”

“Don't "out" me like that, NS. I will try my best. I hope you are feeling better.”

“I have this swelling in my groin area that occurs anytime I see women. Repeating massage of the area does make the swelling go down, but it happens so frequently that the area is now becoming raw and inflamed. What can I do about this problem?”

“Thanks, Dunadan. My sacroiliac is hurting much better. I must have gained a lot last night! You know, "no pain, no gain!"”

“Well, NS, it's good to hear that you're toughing it out. How else would one of the toughest TT'ers handle an injury? Keep it up, 'cause you are one bad dude.”
