Older But Not Necessarily Wiser

Ok, I am not the best blogger ever... but in my defense, I was injured... well, sort of injured LOL. The truth is, I am just not as young as I used to be. I forget that (as most of us do I think) from time to time. Well, a couple of weeks ago happens to be one of those times.

My last post was a picture of me and two of my friends riding 4-wheelers. Now, up until two weeks ago I had never driven a 4-wheeler. But that day I learned how to drive it and proceeded to do so for about 6 hours straight. I knew that my hands and arms were getting tired and were starting to feel like jello toward the end of the evening, but I had no idea what kind of a wimp I really was. The next morning I woke up and basically had no strength or control of my right hand. Since I am right-handed that was not a good thing! Finally after about 5 days doing every single task with my left hand (including writing... and it was bad!) I finally went to get it checked out. I had actually sprained my thumb and bruised my hand clear through.

After a week of ice and therapy the feeling and control started to return. Yay! I could finally do a few things with my right hand again... Finally two weeks post ride I can do almost everything again. Still a little weakness, but at least now I can type again so I will try to be a better blogger!

Like I said, older but not necessarily wiser. Oh, and don't tell my mother, but I rode it again today...
