After surgery out in LA that week the Orthopod described the second metacarpal bone as "pulverized", not fractured. I then had another surgery last fall to free the tendons up from scar tissue. After thirteen months of constant hand therapy 2-4 times a week plus daily at-home work, I've got about 70% mobility back in the finger. I can't think what I'd have done if I didn't have insurance that covered the tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. Or for that matter understanding bosses who put up with me missing so much work for surgery, regular therapy and doctors appointments or the two month period when I couldn't type (and my job depends on typing).

If you are too lazy to bother making a weapon out of blue foam or something get out of the sport.

Did I tell anyone that I hate "fun-noodle" as weapons making material?
Last year I was out in Los Angeles on business and stuck there over a weekend, so I decided to go to a practice that Ralimar was organizing. An amtgard fighter with a greatsword made of "fun-noodle" swung and hit my left hand which was holding an axe. While the weapon had been checked at the start of the day, when it hit me there was no padding left so the plain pvc core hit my hand. It hurt a bit at first but after icing it I was able to fight a bit more. I kept icing it that evening and taking advil, but when I woke up the next morning my hand had swollen. A trip to the emergency room confirmed a broken bone in the left hand with possible damage to the knuckle of the index finger.

Did I say that I hate "fun-noodle" as the basis for the striking surface of weapons? Or that I'm told that over 70% of Amtgard weapons are made with that crud?
