[b]Why I play poker[/b]

I started playing poker at about 15.  I believe the allure at that point was money and fame.

NOW - I had a life changing car accident January 8th.  I'm writing this and playing a lot more poker because well quite frankly, what else am I going to do?  Tomorrow will be just one day shy of three weeks being hospitalized with no target date on when I can get out of here and work on rehabilitation on my own.

Attached three fun pictures.  This is the laundry list of injuries sustained on impact.  Other driver was uninjured beside a sprained knee :P

Head to toe - Broken nose, Busted lip ( 2 stitches ) , Cracked sternum.  6 Cracked ribs, Punctured lung ( a needle decompression was used on the opposite lung in order to relieve pressure so I could breathe, Fractured right hand basically where you karate chop people that fifth metacarpal is out of place, 13 stitches just under my knee ( awaiting results of xray performed today )....

The real monster injury is in my right leg / ankle.  It took them 25 minutes to extricate me and I was in and out of consciousness still at this point.  The engine block had caved in and pinned my leg.  Have about 20% bone loss and removal of my tibia.  Fibula is mangled at the bottom as well as my heel / ankle have been blown out.

So - have fun out there and be safe.   Always wear your seatbelt and obey the speed limit friends :)
