Medical Medical

On Saturday I jumped as high as I could off a 165 foot tower, plummeting down towards a small murky pond in the middle of the jungle and lived to tell the tale. Bungee jumping: check.

Moments later, I stubbed my toe dang hard and was in pain for the rest of the day. I still manage to make a one hour hike a leap off a 20 foot waterfall into a pool of water, hike back, and play tennis with bearable pain. The next morning I woke up to a terribly swollen sesamoid surrounded by a worrysome ring of black and blue veins. It was so gnarly I was almost sure it was broken, or perhaps some broken phalanges. I took a trip to the Chiang Mai Ram hospital and got hooked up with an X-ray and a doctor visit which revealed only a soft tissue injury (whew). What's so cool about this is that it was totally covered by my Thai health insurance, and then this morning one of the nurses called from the hospital to check up on me! How cool!

Today my foot feels a lot better.

Yesterday I also got an email from Trevor that he had posted some of our skate stuff on YouTube. For those of ya'll that don't know, skateboarding was just about all I did from middle school through high school. Enjoy!
