Gamekeeping

This has nothing to do with the delicious pheasant that was Sunday's dinner.

Did you know that your thumb ligaments make a loud cracking noise as they break? I can confirm that this noise was that sound.

The doctor tells me that the directional weakness and pain exhibited by my thumb is a clear indication of ligament damage and that it will take a considerable time to heal. Google informs me that the somewhat amusing colloquial name for this ailment is Gamekeeper's thumb.

I have another 5 or so months to invent a better way to remove my wetsuit; one that doesn't utilize the thumb.

On a brighter note, I have actually identified a benefit of last weekend's outrageous carb outburst. As soon as I reduce my carb intake, the podgy feeling in my belly disappears and my internals feel like they are back to normal. I wonder how long it will take to forget / ignore that important rediscovery.

Current weight is 13 stones 4 pounds (186 pounds / 84.4 kg).
