OT: Personal News

I feel kinda foolish. ^_^;; I went and broke my hand and never said a word here or asked for prayer. Where else am I gonna go to request it? 
Anyway, yeah, I broke my hand. I was sparring in karate class and blocked a kick the wrong way. I have bad luck at sparring, but it usually isn't that bad. I just shake it off (sometimes literally), and keep going. But this was different. My hand wouldn't stop aching. So we thought it was sprained and I put ice on it. About a week later, I finally go into the doctor to have it checked. I get x-rays and leave.
A week later, mom calls and asks what the diagnosis is. We get another appointment with my doctor, and a few more x-rays. That's when we found out I'd broken my scaphoid, one of two hand bones that are really bad to break. If the blood vessel gets broken, the bone will die, which is called "(something) necrosis".
Yeah, I was paying more attention to the second word, 'cause "necro" means "death" iirc.
Anyway, I had a cast for six weeks. Finally got it off last Wednesday. *plays Hallelujah Chorus* I was pretty happy to say goodbye to it. 'Course, I still have to wear a brace for two weeks.
If any of you feel inclined, please pray that it heals correctly and I get my hand back. I don't wanna visit my Uncle Brad for a surgery! Flights to Arizona are expensive.
Any prayers are appreciated.
Also, the USA Wrestling Nationals tournament is this week. My dad has run the volunteer pool for years, making sure they have enough people to help keep things running smoothly on the mats.
So guess who has to go into a noisy, crowded building to help out in case they run short? For hours at a time? And show up at fricking 08:30 at the latest?
Yeah. Suffice to say, my time online is gonna be cut short, just to get some decent sleep. I'll still check the forums when I can, but unless I'm not needed, don't expect me on much. 'Course, if any of you wish to pray that we get enough volunteers to keep things going smoothly, I won't stop you. 
Anyway, I'd better get going. I've got a long day ahead of me, and it's gonna come early. Cya around!
