Wrist Shenanigans

so i went to get a pin taken out of my wrist yesterday, which i was told was a mellow procedure.  after having my arm cut open and an hour of some lady yanking on metal in my wrist with pliers, i was thinking it didnt seem too mellow.  finally they decide to xray it again on a different angle and discovered it wasnt a pin sticking out of my wrist it was a screw... which was attached to the plate holding my bones together in there.  so they sewed me up and schedualed me for a surgery in squamish next week. sweeet.  im taking a few days off work cause its real sore.  it was opening day today and im not allowed to go snowboarding (doctors exact words were: if you fall on that wrist, you will break something) but i figured id just be veryy careful.  slept at gills, woke up at 530 and headed to the village with jan and jake.  3 hours later we were on our first gondola of the season.  it was a pretty fun day despite the serious lack of snow and my extreme cautiousness.  everybody was up and stoked, it was a good vibe.  went inside for lunch, and discovered my hand was huuge and swollen.  kinda worried me, so i cut my day short.  i think im going to follow the doctors instructions and not snowboard til this thing is healed.   we'll post pictures later
