Bugger Me

Well no unicycling for -at least- 10 days for me. Probably more though.
Me and two of my friends were up the hills behind were we live, just
doing the usual crazy fun stuff, agravating bee-hives, climbing
passionfruit vines 20m above the ground and jumping huge gaps in
nature.....
Anyway we were launching ourselves down this huge bike jump and just
wiping out at the bottom, it was really fun, my friends stopped for a
while and I kept going, all was going swell and i was just becoming
really muddy, anyway I ran up for my last jump and then realised my
footing wasn't right, i slowed down and hardly jumped at all just
flopped down the jump, I landed in some soft dirt and just let my knee
sink into it, unbeknown to me I was letting my knee sink ito a sharp
rock, I continued to roll down the hill (I still had quite a lot of
momentum despite the small jump) i came to a stop and looked at my knee
which was a bit sore, I realised something wasn't right when I could see
the little fat molecules and red muscles of my knee, a huge flap of skin
had been cut and i was left with a cut about 10cm long on my knee, it
was very deep and blood began pouring out. It was full of dirt also
which didn't help. Anyway after sitting for about 5 mins we had to begin
heading back, i was going to walk back to my friends an call my mum from
there to take me to get it stiched up, so after about half an hour of
walking down steep hill with a huge flap of skin dangling off my leg we
arrived at my friends (it normally would have taken about 10 mins) I
called my mum and after getting a bit cleaned up we went to the
emergency doctor. After an hour or cleaning and scrubbing, countless
anaesthetics and 10 stiches we emerged. I am now told i cant even go to
school for 2 days, i basically have to sit with my leg up for 2 days (im
starting to get cramp) the stiches should come out in 10 days but im
still not sure how long before i can pick up my sports again (especailly
unicycling)....
This all comes at not the best time unicycling wise. I haven't had a
decent uni for the last 2 months and when i finally begin to organise
getting one from Australia this happens, im not sure when my new uni
will arrive (i'll post again to let you know the details)...half of me
wants it now and half of me only wants it when im healed as i don't
think i could stand having a brand new uni sitting in my house. so
basically this is a bit of a bummer. Though looking on the bright side
I have never had stiches before so its all a new experience and i'll be
left with an awesome scar, so not all is lost......

P.S sorry I guess this is a bit boring but i just had to tell someone.

Oh yeah and we took a picture when it was still all muddy and bloody so
I should hopefully be able to post that up soon (if you want to see
it)
The thing is it isn't on a digital camera so im not sure how long it is
before we finish the film in the camera, could be a while, either way
i'll just resurect this thread to post the pics when i get them.

Here are some crappy pics, they were taken on a crappy digital camera
and I had to take them myself which was really hard. It has become
infected so they had to take the stiches out and thats why there are
those paper stiches on. Its not healing very well at all but you
probably can't see anything in the picture anyway, oh well.
