Just got a call from Smartmonkey, last night (while absolutely sober, no less) he fell down some stairs and wound up breaking his right ankle in 3 different places. He's going in for surgery on Tuesday, and will be confined to the existing by the grace of public transportation until his ankle heals.

That blows! MTS is not bad and yet not great either. I hope recovery goes well.

Damn, that sucks. Tell him that we're all hoping he recovers quickly.

I'm ashamed to admit that a small part of me wants to laugh, just because it's Mongar.

But seriously, hope things go well, and you're back on your feet soon, big guy! :)

Dude! Let Smartmonkey know that I wish him a quick recovery. And no more Jet Li movie stunts.

Just letting SmartMonkey know we have him on full alert

Actually, as horrified as I was until I was sure that he was More Or Less okay, what struck me as really funny was that of all the ways I ever /expect/ Smartmonkey to be hurt ("You boys put down those {matches|power tools|flammable liquids|heavy machinery|random}"), /this/ is finally what breaks bones?

Well, they say the bigger you are the harder you fall...mend quickly, monkey boy!

smartmonkey · Post by **smartmonkey** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 12:44 pm

Hey gang. Just posting an update. Surgery went fine. I'm now the proud new owner of a metal plate and several bolts in my right foot.

The actual breaks should mend quickly, or so the doc says, it's the soft tissue damage inflicted thats going to keep me on my ass for a good 90 days.

opwunder · Post by **opwunder** » Wed Apr 13, 2005 2:15 pm

On your ass....in front of the computer or the tv with a dvd playin'....hmmm, that sounds like a real sacrifice, maybe I could do the same...nah, at my advanced age it would probably result in death...or worse!

Kiddin' aside, what are you doing for income for the 90 days? Three months without a paycheck could really hurt the ol' savings account! I try to keep six months in a seperate account just in case, even though my job has a plan that kicks in after 30 days with half pay for awhile. Hope you mend quickly, next all day one-shot you can show us all your bolts...

Ah, how art imitates life. ;)

Get well SM. Though being confined to rpgs and video games is...well somehow suitable.

Some how I always knew you would end up with metal plates. Now you can beep everytime you go through a metal detector. Hope you get better soon.

I would have bet they'd be in his head.

Not to whine or anything... but the X-box was sold a month ago, the DVD player is broken, and it's a pain in the ass to keep my foot elevated over at the computer.

And daytime TV blows.

Dude, that sucks, did you sell the Xbox for smokes?

smartmonkey · Post by **smartmonkey** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 8:31 pm

No. My brother sold it for weed.

And, conicidentally, I quit smoking. Mostly because the surgeon argued pretty persuasively that it fucks up the healing process (i.e, narrowing veins, etc...).

So yeah. Thats what it takes to make me quit.

Skyman · Post by **Skyman** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 9:04 pm

I actually heard quitting isn't the problem...staying that way is

smartmonkey · Post by **smartmonkey** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 3:18 pm

Indeed. I don't know that I'll stay smoke-free once I'm healed. Mostly because I hang out with a bunch of chain smoking actors when I'm not gaming.

Bah. Warcraft 3. Soon.

As someone who smoked for 10 years, I'd highly recommend it. It's best to skip the health problems associated with smoking if you can.

[quote="Gotetsu"]Weren't you the guy who got him started in the first place? ]

I seriously hope I didn't give him his first cigarette (traditionally non-smokers don't ask to bum one), but in any case I fully warned him of how much smoking sucks.

Gotetsu · Post by **Gotetsu** » Fri Apr 15, 2005 3:59 pm

I'm just fuckin with ya. I'm sure he probably snuck one from somebody. You know how curious kids can be. :D

Well good luck anyways. At least for your health sake. It's weird how such habits are built into our socialization.

Seriously. It's kinda bizzare, but as aware as I am about smokings negative effects, I've also noticed a few bennies. It's a great way to meet people, and the whole "smoker mafia" thing at BN has its perks. But I digress.

This is just the vicodin talking.
