“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” - Ernest Hemingway
Last December, two days before New Year’s eve, I shattered my left wrist in a freak skiing accident in the Catskills. Less than a week later, a skilled hand surgeon in New York City patched it back together with a titanium plate and screws (see accompanying x-rays). Not exactly an auspicious start to 2012, but given that I’m a righty, it could have been worse.
