In the stupidest ways, at the worst times.
I was helping my Dad carry a ping pong table up a set of stairso outside. The stairs were slippery, so we were both concentrating on our feet rather than our hands. Then the table decided to unfold, crushing both of our left hands. I got away with a few minor lacerations and bruised knuckles; my Dad has one finger almost completely severred and a fracture on another. I drove him to the hospital and spent two hours hanging around before they told me he'd have to stay the night and probably wouldn't be able to work the rest of the week.
The result is... I can't be certain how active I'll be. I may have to hang around my dad's place and help him out with stuff for awhile, and to be honest it kinda hurts to type. When I am on Dajas Pagoda will be my priority, and I'll try to keep up to date with everything else.

Jeez. Shit does happen. I'm sorry to hear that man. Really, I am. I hope you get active again soon, but jeez don't worry about it, take your time.

Wow... I hope this whole thing works out alright. Hopefully, both yours and your father's hands will be better. Don't worry about typing right now, you might aggravate your hand.
Eesh. Don't worry about the Pagoda, Numbers. I'll put you on leave until you're back.

Wow, damn, I'm sorry to hear, Numbers. I heard about a guy who's thumb got stuck in the rungs of a foldable ladder, and it sounded bad. Good news though, he's all better now!
But you take care of those fingers and left hands, and don't force any undue pressure on them. Everyone will understand, just get back whenever, and in perfect health!

Damn, son!
Althanas should be the least of your worries right now. Take your time and heal up.

I know this sounds trivial, but trying to type with injured hands is a bad thing. Take some time off!
Maybe he's use to typing with one hand?

This from the guy who writes Althanas' answer to 2girls1cup?
hey, hope everything goes well. It's good to hear that you got out pretty okay and I'm sad to hear about your dad and i hope he gets well soon.
The sad thing is I don't need hands to do that anymore. It's all handled psychokinetically. I'll teach you some time, yes?

That's the second time you've come onto me in an ooc thread.
Down boy.
I'll allow you time to recover. But mark my words, Numbers, one day, I will hit on you again. From the blackest depths of my soul I promise you that.
Also, hope you get well soon, kay?
EDIT: Change your Avatar and I'll hit you less. Matt Damon does things. To anyone.
Ouch. O_O
I see you already declined Pagoda leave, but it wouldn't bother me if you did take it. I don't think I'll be posting as quickly as I was before, given other stuff cropping up, so you'll be able to get another good couple hours of healing before you have to worry about our thread again. Do what you need to to get better.

Ooh, that's gotta hurt.
Take your time, 016573... Err, I'll just stick with Numbers. :p
Typing with one hand isn't really the way to go either. Believe me.

Typing with one hand sucks... :S
But more so what happened to your dad sucks, you got off rather lightly. You said one of his fingers was almost severed, were they able to stitch everything back up all right?

Unfortunately, I'm still waiting to hear about that.
Thanks for the support, everyone.

I know someone who can do that, and it isn't you. You two could team up and teach seminars across the world. The lotion industry probably wouldn't appreciate it, tho.

Well, after too many days and me being nervous, the doctors have said that they hope/expect my dad's hand to recover fully. He's dealing with it well and on painkillers, which seem to be helping. Thanks for your support, everyone.
Also, my hand is a little bruised but not slowing me down, so I should be active like a summer camp activity planner.

That's certainly good news, Nya~!
:D
But do take it easy, still. We don't want you to lose your fingers from writing too vigorously, Nya!

When you say active, do you mean...sexually? Because I went to a Christian summer camp when I was a kid that was dubbed the Baptist Breeding Grounds.

That's not actally what I meant. However, the fact that I'm sexually active should always be assumed. That sounds like a fun camp. My ex had an old school uniform she'd wear for me sometimes.

Only on Althanas could a thread about pain and injury somehow transmogrify itself into a sexual scandle disscussion.

...Ew.
And I'm not entirely sure which of the two thoughts is grossing me out. >.<
