Weell, I was hoping to have a bigger flashier 7000th post as even ntsheep had more excitement.
Like him, I had started pondering what to post and as usual two things got in my way ... Procrastination, and a horrible amount of work.
So good news ... I sorted out the work thing. I abruptly managed to figure out a way where I just could stop for a month or two, and nobody could get upset.
However, that less me onto the bad news part. The way I got so much time off was because I was playing on my son's scooter. Man you can go fast on one of those two wheeled platforms of death.
I rounded a corner and the front wheel left the track and went into soft dirt. Soft dirt and small wheels are not a good combination and so as per laws of physics dictate, I, with forward momentum, kept going forward when the scooter had stopped.
Next moment my face hit the asphalt and I genuinely saw one of my teeth fly out. I had cracked two more as well. The worrying thing was that I couldn't move my hands. It was not a pretty sight.
Sooooo that was Sunday morning. Since then I have been lucky enough to spend my days in the spinal unit of the local hospital. After two days of staring at the ceiling, I was allowed up and am now able to do sone things for myself. My hand control is coming back slowly (only minor damage to my spinal cord) but I am not about to write a novel any time soon.
Long story short, I now have more time to spend here. I have done my 7000th post, and I do not recommend riding kids scooters.
Back to playing heroes of steel ...
