Mend these broken wings

I sprained my wrist doing this:



It was very fun but owie! How did I sprain my wrist? The instructor said "Don't drop the paddle because it will sink if you fall off and drop it" (I love how he said if... hahahaha!) so when I fell straight down on the board (another hint from the instructor, thanks guy!) I managed to crack my wrist on it. Argh.

Basically, if I'd fallen sideways and let go of the paddle when I did, there would be NO INJURY.

Typing one-handed is NOT fun and the charity fics I was planning on finishing up this week will be delayed because it's already aching just with doing this much. Plus, I REALLY can't afford to lose a week on Big Bang. :(

Bright side? I got two days off work where I'm not really sick, just sore so I felt like I had two holiday days. Back to work tomorrow but will try not to use it much.

Ow! I'm sorry hun! Hope you feel better soon!

and that's really confusing. How does your board sink if your paddle falls? Or why would the paddle sink if YOU fell off? Or did he mean you paddle will sink if it falls because it's heavy? LOL I read that like 5 times and still got confused!

Hehehee... the paddle will sink if you drop it. :D It's metal because it needs to be sturdy.

Ow ow ow!!! :( Don't like when you're hurt. ♥

That said, how many of those damn paddles do people lose every day? How can you take something out on a surf/paddleboard that will SINK?? *does not compute*

Hope your wrist feels better soon.

It was definitely much fun! I didn't know I'd hurt myself properly till after. :)

It looks like you are a brave, brave woman. You have my respect for doing it. Sorry about the injury. (*virtual ibuprofen sent your way*)

N'aww... thanks!

Oh no! Rest up your wrist.

I hope you enjoyed yourself until the wrist-spraining moment. It looks like fun.

Definitely very fun and would like to do it again. Just need to learn to fall better. :)

That's not me! :D People kept looking at me blankly when I tried to explain how I injured myself so I thought a photo would help and now realise it's misleading - d'oh!!
