Oh the things I owe to alcohol

So I don't normally like writing about my day to day life but I think that I'll make an exception here.

So lately I've been looking into doing parkour. I've tried a few vaults and jumps here and there with a fair bit of success but nothing to really get to excited about. Yesterday however I was out drinking with Mark and some of his friends and a guy from Sobeys and when we were walking from one bar to another I started doing some more little jumps.

The guys I was with weren't overly impressed (they seemed to think I should be jumping building to building) and so in my drunken stupor I decided to do a jump over a rail with a decent drop afterwards. I'm not exactly sure what happened, the snow, the take off, the alcohol, but I caught my feet on the bar and bit hard onto my face and my arms.

My arms hurt right after but nothing too terrible so I kept on going on my way to the bar. Once I got there however I realized that I couldn't lift either of my hands to my mouth making eating and drinking very difficult (thank god for straws and TGun).

So needless to say I made the decision to go to the hospital to see what was up. After my xrays and all that the doctor told my that I fractured both my arms in the same place and that they wouldn't cast them because it would fully incapacitate me. So he gave me some drugs, slinged my arm and I walked home and spent probably the most painful night of my life lying in bed trying to find a position where at least one of my arms were comfortable.

So right now I have basically become a T-Rex, the arms are there they just don't do much. I was able to dress myself this morning with allot of pain and have almost figured out how to eat. Apparently I'm not able to work until May and I have no idea how I'm going to even make it to school.

Oh and for those of you who are unsure whether this is funny or sad, it's absolutely hilarious! I mean just imagine someone who can't reach his hands to his face trying to put on glasses or eat.

And Brenna I'm sorry but from what I can tell I willn't be going to the aquatic portion of your birthday. The sad thing is that theoretically I could now shave, but again the hands to face issue arises.

I'm sure there's a lesson here somewhere but I haven't found it yet, so if any of you come up with anything let me know!
