What's he got that I ain't got?
Well, Mr. Minor Medical Mishap (2005, 2006) has done it again.

Last night he got tossed over the horizon at judo. He's not the best uke (literal translation, "floater," rough translation, "partner," in other words, "person who gracefully takes the fall in order to help her partner to learn the throw") in the world, and he managed to take the fall badly. Instead of doing a side fall, somehow he caught himself with his left hand, bending the fingers back. The doctor thinks he's just sprained it, but wants us to get the hand x-rayed just in case.

*sigh*

Does it count as a Minor Medical Mishap if we don't have to take him through the emergency room?

He and Middlest are meeting a family that they may be doing mother's helpering for today. Bigglest is short a hand and has a mouthful of novocaine from having a couple of fillings earlier this afternoon. Hopefully by then he'll be able to talk more clearly. Some impression he's going to make.
