So, as I said, I am a third degree black belt in TaeKwonDo. We had our tournament this past Saturday at Frazer. I competed in the board breaking team and the demo team competitions. I competed on two of the board breaking teams. One of my teams placed second out of 7 or 8 teams. We broke 24 boards in 1 minuet and 12.5 seconds. WOOP WOOP!!! But.... I also had an injury.
Our board holders were not the best. So when I hit my first board, it took three tries. I finally got it, but it was bruised almost imediatly. And it hurt. But I still had my second team to break for, so I had to keep going.
Little did I know, that on this second team, I had to break a harder board.... GREAT!.... It got to be my turn and i went up to break. I hit the board 4 times with my right had, slapped it, then switched to my left hand and hit twice. By this point, my hand is throbbing, swollen, and BRUISED. This all happened at 9:30 am.
I had the rest of the tournament to go. I pushed thought the pain, with then help of ice and bandages. I had the opportunity to spend the rest of the day with my boyfriend and his family. We went to the mall and saw a movie. Then, we went back to his house to eat. YUMMY!!!!! Did I happen to mention that all I had had to eat was half a chicken biscuit and two reses cups?!? So i'm starving!
We eat, play a few games, and chill out on the couch. At this point, my hand has never hurt this bad from breaking boards in my life. I only get to see my out of friends a few time's a year. So I couldn't miss out on a broomball party with them! So I leave Brandon's house and go hang out with them. I played broomball from 8:30 to 10. My hand is KILLING me but I just accept the fact that its a bruise and go on.
It is now Sunday: TIME FOR CHURCH!! I get up, throw on some clothes and head off. I didn't have my hand wrapped because I didn't want to show that it hurt so much. I went home after church, got me a nice shower, and got reading to go BACK to church for choir. I wrapped my hand for this. I got home about 7 Saturday night. I got all my homework done and curled up in bed and started crying. My hand was HURTING. More than every now. My parents decided that we would go to PriMed after school Monday.
After school, a whole day of writing, I went to PriMed. They took 4 x-ray's of my hands, and only one came back showing a fracture. They sent off my x-ray's to a specialist and I should know what is wrong my tomorrow morning.
It's not a problem that I have broken my right hand. It's a problem because this is the one week every class has either a test or a project. And they all require writing. It hurts to write anything. So this week ought to be very interesting. :P
Wish me luck.
