Eben Brooks Video Blog #24: Personal Injury

[thecanaryiscome]

I'm really loving the t-shirt!

Pain and drugs? You're really becoming a rock star. :]

[ebenbrooks]

Heh. You have a point there, I guess. ;-)

Thanks. I got the t-shirt off of Cafe Press. If you search for "Super Om", you can find it.

man im so sorry that you broke your foot but especialy that you have to get surgery i dont know about you but im deathly afraid of it. :) well i cant wait to see footage from the heroes against hunger tour cause i wont be able to go. but maybe next year i could actualy be on it. feel better.

[ebenbrooks]

I'm kinda scared myself. I've been under a general anesthetic before, but the thought of it is still frightening. Thanks for the well-wishes. I'll update everyone as soon as I can about how it's going.

[kalraldun]

For what it's worth, you have my sympathy.

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you. :)

[anonthulhu]

How did you break your foot man? I hope you get better.

[ebenbrooks]

Thanks. It's a long-ish story, and I'm considering actually making another video blog about how it happened. 'Cause I've had this question a lot, and it's not easy to answer quickly. ;-)

[YdDerph]

Damn, that sucks. A lot. A lot a lot.

Get better soon, dude. Hey, could be worse. Could be raini---wait. Rain improves things. Bad example. Uhm...But it could be worse, because you could be under /my/ care instead of your lady's, and I'm mean.

[ebenbrooks]

Heh. Thank you. I'm doing okay for now. We'll see how things go after the surgery this week.

[khosrow]

Get well soon!

[ebenbrooks]

I will do my very best. Thank you. :D

[headbanginboy]

So sorry to hear about your foot mate. Heal up and get back out there. If I was near you I would bring you snacks and beer.

[ebenbrooks]

Thanks. My girlfriend has my food sitch taken care of, for the most part. And, unfortunately, beer is right out of the question, as I'm taking Vicodin. Beer and Vicodin don't mix well.

[headbanginboy]

Very good point. Mind you Im sure mixing the 2 would take your mind off things. lol.

Instead I shall send you good karma and pray to Cthulhu for you

[ebenbrooks]

Thanks very much. (And yes, it would...it would take my mind of off EVERYTHING! ;-) Not QUITE ready for that solution yet...)

[speedysweetheart]

ill be thinking of you and hoping you heal quick

[ebenbrooks]

Thank you very much. :D

[RobotnikandFriends]

How exactly did you break your foot?

[ebenbrooks]

A five-foot drop from my driveway into my neighbor's driveway. I had two choices: try to land on my feet and possibly hurt myself badly, or *not* try to land on my feet and possibly die. I chose the former. ;-)

[RobotnikandFriends]

In my expert opinion, you chose the better of the two options. Have fun with your vicodin! Fun stuff when you've got a kidney stone, trust me!

[ebenbrooks]

I sincerely hope I never experience one of those, but if I do, well, I'm sure Vicodin will be my friend once again. ;-)

[AndreaKendall]

So no Comic Con for you :-)

Take care and heal quickly.

[ebenbrooks]

I haven't done Comic Con seriously since 1995. So it's not much of an imposition.

Thank you, though. I really hope my 8 to 12 week prognosis ends up being closer to 8 than 12...

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

Its all good, you didn't need to apologize.

[ebenbrooks]

Well, thank you. :D Good to hear.

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

No problem. It is all good i recently suffered a LARPing injurie so we are in the same boat.

[ebenbrooks]

Oh, dear! I didn't realize LARPing could be so hazardous. ;-)

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

Yeah, I broke my wittle finger. Some dildo attacked me with a non-legal sword.

[ebenbrooks]

That sucks! :(

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

Not really, he got the 5#17 beat out of him by my groupies.

[ebenbrooks]

Well, it still sucks that you got hurt. Hopefully the dildo in question learned his lesson and won't hurt anyone else that way.

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

Hopefully. I still fight though :P

[ebenbrooks]

Good for you! :D

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

Sarcastic?

[ebenbrooks]

Not at all! I'm serious. The fact that you can keep doing what you like doing despite injury is a good thing, in my opinion.

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

I s'pose, the guys there loved your CD by the way.

[ebenbrooks]

Excelelnt! Thanks. :D

[TheFallenOfEryndor]

No problem.
