Beautifully Broken


Word of advice to all who read: If you are a small Asian man, do not play basketball against 3 large African American men.  Why? Let this picture show:



So, 2 days ago I was monitoring the Jumping Pillow, basketball court, miniature golf and the pedal carts when 3 campers asked me if I wanted to play basketball with them.  Of course, wanting to show off my SKILLS, I kindly accepted their offer and hit the courts.  After ballin' them up in the first game, they desired a rematch.  I hesitated (my lovely wife brought me some Korean soup for lunch), but decided to get some more W's for the ole B-ball belt.  BUT, instead of getting some more W's, I got some more broken bones on the broken bone belt.  Worst belt ever.  I went up for a rebound, and landed on my ankle...

Emily rushed me to the nearest hospital, St. Luke's hospital in Newburgh. We got put in a very small waiting room with many injured individuals.  I pulled out my iPhone and checked in through foursquare and Facebook and started the long waiting process.

4 hours later...

After some X-rays and waiting, the PA finally told us that I had a chip fracture and that a part of my bone on my ankle broke off and is floating around down there.  He put a half casty thing around my ankle and gave me some crutches and I was on my way.  Sometime this week I will be heading over to an orthopedist to confirm my diagnosis, but either way 4 to 6 weeks on crutches.

Anyways, enough about me.  Emily is currently making play doh with some kids. Okay, bye!
