Of Hoops and Dislocations
2 05 2009Alas!
My friend Philip fell down and dislocated his elbow yesterday.
Philip in happier times
It was labour day and CCC (Calvary Charismatic Centre) held their 2nd Mini-Olympics competition.
A gang of us had a team representing his church.
We got 3rd place, after winning three games and losing one.
Things got pretty violent from the beginning. LOTS of body contact, body checks, elbows and knees being thrust like a bad dance movie.
Anyway, back to Philip.
He got tripped midway the first game and landed badly on his arm. His elbow popped out of its socket and he was (i could only imagine) in excruciating pain. He started yelling about and a whole bunch of people could only stand around and watch. I tried to get some first aid BUT couldnt find anyone and in the end the first aid people who arrived were very slow to do anything.
After awhile they managed to put Philip’s arm in a makeshift cast and carry him to this guy’s car and he drove them there.
At the hospital the doctors gave him some morphine and popped his elbow back.
damn, he got to get high.
Philip’s actually on a short trip back from Australia, and was supposed to go back to Perth tomorrow.
Looks like that’s gonna be delayed.
Hope he has a speedy recovery.
I’m really quite sure he still wants to play ball in the future.
At least we got third place, in honor of him.
Pity only 1st and 2nd place got trophies/medals.
bah.
eh, always thought after dislocation it doesnt hurt that much as the part where you try to relocate it?
duno wor.
Maybe because it was the first time dislocating that’s why hurt so much.
At least its just dislocated… Could have been broken with the bone sticking out and Tom Green suddenly appearing and starts licking the bone that is sticking out…
…As you can tell, I just watched “Freddy got Fingered”…
If only they had Wolverine’s healing powers.
watched yet? i wanna watch it asap.
heard it got some bad reviews though.
Thanks for article. Everytime like to read you.
I saw it when it got leaked… I guess the only reason people wanted to see this was because of Gambit, and he had like so little screen time..
