Two weeks ago I wrestled a guy after 20 hours of acrobatics. Why? Because I like wrestling. There is a downside to wrestling if you are very tired though. You don’t have a lot of power or coordination in your muscles. This means that trying to stabilize your head when somebody pulls it down, doesn’t work that well. It leads to neck injury, as even a medical layman could tell you.
Now after two weeks of pain, stiffness in my neck and hardly any sleep I “only” have numbness of the skin in my left arm. I’ve drawn it out for you.
I was looking for the next thing after my ankle ordeal. A nerve lesion seemed like a pretty good idea. Luckily for me full recovery is expected within 6 weeks to 6 months.
Dude, for a minute there I was worried that recovery might take “long”. Or that doctors would be “vague” about their predictions…
We’ll give you an extra hug this evening
(carefully)
Gee, I guess life would be just be boring without a proper injury. but I do spot a downside: where’s the scar? (drawings don’t count)
Wow. You now really start developing a pretty impressive collection of medical bizarrities. I hope you recover well and manage to get some sleep. Cheers.
Hmz. Everybody seems to be impressed. Has any of you ever noticed that ALL of Sjoerds injuries are caused by his own stupidities? No need to feel sorry for him…
Your weblog seems to be mainly dedicated to keping track of your latest (stupid or not) injuries…
Oooo, ooo, I know! Let’s have a contest of predicting Sjoerd’s next injury!
I predict he will sprain his wrist while trying to impress a beautiful female woman-person by making a handstand without hands!
Good idea: my guess will be a very nasty infection to the right hand indexvinger due to an accident with a carrot and a knife.
Well, with his legs, his arms and his neck already affected, what can we have next? The Bum?
The Bum.
@Lian
Unfortunately there is no scar. At least not visible to the outside.
@Miko
Now that would be a challenge. A bum injury.
