when i was 18,

2 tendons lacerated in three places in my left hand as well as some kind of vein or something with no broken bones. by the time we arrived at the hospital which was 5 mintues away the doctor said he was suprised i was still conscious with the blood loss and you should have seen his face when the drugs he was giving me weren't working very well due to my high natural resistance. cause: stupidity/arrogance. long story short, i developed the i've been doing this all my life so i can take short cuts if i want to attitude. rebuilding the internals of my hand cost the insurance company $15000. i was working for my dad that summer. he did not get on me for it because he knew that i would take care of that but my mom wanted to kick his butt.

i am fortunate enough to have recovered 100% and to have learned my lesson for good.
