did anybody else have the luck of breaking a bone and gettn stuck with a cast back in your hayday of arcade life??
i broke my ring finger on my left hand in gym class in 85. i know i know.... your not supposed to have a cast for a finger. i had the bad luck of it breaking in 2 places right where you'd wear your wedding ring. simply put.... the top side of my ring finger was touching the palm of my hand. but, the best part was i didn't feel a thing. gotta love 1st period gym class outside in october. runnin around in shorts and a tee-top in 40 degree weather.... nice and numb.....lol.
anyway, 1st cast... ( and yes, i said 1st cast ) was a fiberglass cast that left my index finger and thumb free so i could still play most games, all be it a bit challenging. after 4 weeks the cast came off but my finger healed crooked. so after the doc re-broke my finger in his office.....( won't hurt my ass....grrrr ).... 2 days later they operated and put a pin in my finger and put a plaster cast on with only the tip of my thumb exposed. this took my game playing to almost nill....( WHICH SUCKED !!!!! ). only good thing about this cast was i could give some horrific super noogies......hehehehe. things that sucked bigtime were that i walked to school so a coat was needed for sure and my hand didn't fit out the end of the arm of the coat.... so try to zip up your coat with 1 arm inside 1 handed.....SUCKED!!!!
the plaster cast came off after 6 weeks but my gaming was still crappy because for basically 10 weeks i had my left hand in a cast. needless to say i didn't have a ton of movement after that for some time.....lol.
