Yea, well, in my case the irony is that it happened barely a week after I got out of a nasty writer's block and started really firing away on my thesis
The good thing is that today I've realized that I'm actually pretty damn good with one-handed typing. I'm still a lot slower than I used to be, but I can even keep up with an IM conversation. Tomorrow I'll take a stab at finishing up a review for the site that I was working on when I got injured, and next week I'll see if I can get back to my thesis (it's my birthday next thursday and I've decided to take it easy until I'm a year older let's just say).
joea: yea, I remember your accident last year, that sure wasn't pleasant either I bet. I guess you found things to do with yourself in you downtime though, huh.
I wasn't in hospital that long so I didn't get to do many fun thing with nurses. Everyone was really nice though, and given that the other two patients in my room were geriatrics who had trouble communicating in English and were generally a bit more troublesome than me, I think the staff thought of me as a model patient. I tried to let everyone do their work on me without getting in the way or complaining.
Otherwise the whole thing has been more exhausting than painful.
nikimcbee: heyy, I saw that panther video before, just forgot to comment on it!
Good graphics you've got in that sim :p
I got some nice toy tanks for an early birthday present too, the other day.
