House battle scars

In the 'house battle' I am losing.

Most of the time when I get hurt over there, it's stuff that I can hide so that no one really worries too much. Like falling off/rolling down ladders, air nailing my finger, slamming my head into a cantilever, etc.  You limp and move slow, or your back hurts, but most people just assume you're stiff.  And most people will never notice a puncture in your finger.

Then I pulled a couple idiot moves within a few days of each other that were a little more noticeable...

Over a month ago I raked a 5 inch cut across my back on a screw.  You know it's kinda bad when your shirt is stuck to it a couple hours later.  It will probably make for a good reminder/story a year from now (just like my feet STILL hurting over a year later from the 1st Run 143 - attempting 6 marathons in 6 days after training for 6 weeks... seriously, who does that?)   Starting to see why I used the name for the blog?

And then a couple days later I tore a chunk off of the back of my finger with a hammer.   I put the skin on and put a band-aid on it for a few days.   Just curious... Are wounds suppose to stink a week later after washing them multiple times???  The skin is a different color, but it seemed attached.  That's good, right?  Don't worry, it's not green.  Not yet.  It actually fell off after 10 days & smells a lot better!

Later!
