Liberal Arm Injury Update #2 w/pic (caution)

On Friday they took my first cast off and replaced it with a new removable one. They also took a bunch of staples out of my arm which you can see below. Everyday it feels like I can bend my fingers and wrist a little bit more but I probably won't regain a full range of motion and I have some minor nerve damage. The hospital adjusted my bill from $22,700 to less than $7,000 so that makes me happy.

Liberal Arm Injury Update

I've decided to coin my injury as a liberal arm injury since I hurt my left arm and I was playing the traditional liberal past time of soccer as opposed to conservative sports like washers and polo.

For those of you who don't know, I injured my arm playing soccer and broke both bones in my forearm in multiple places. My arm is going to be in a cast for a long time and my arm will now set off airport security checkpoints. I get my current cast replaced next week with a supercast (still waiting on the bill).

Things I have learned to do with one arm
- Typing but with no more wasted keystrokes (example ummm, j/k, dude)
- Opening child-proof pill bottles
- Opening ketchup packets
- Teaching other people SEO
- Driving (although my arm keeps hitting the brights when I hit the left turn signal)

Also with only one working arm no one asks you for money on the street and you get an aura of street credibility.
