I had a rather large set back today. I was being a nice guy let a few noobs work in with me on a bench. Well much to my dismay, they didnt rack their weights when they were done. I was just finishing up my third set of dumbbell bench and went to put the 90's down when my left ring finger was smashed between my 90 and the noobs left overs. i look down to see the end of my finger hangin on by a thread. So there it is, smashed in half, open fracture, and blood pouring from this mangled mess i once called a finger. Dude at the front desk calls me an ambulance and off i go to the hospital expecting a few stitches and maybe a week or two outta the gym. Not how shit turned out though, hell that woulda great fuckin news, nope turns out my bone basically pulverized and i now have an emergency reconstructive surgery tomorrow morning. And to top it all off, i my have damaged the finger nail beyond repair, meaning i will have no finger nail ever again on that finger. Needless to say its gonna be a little more than a week or two before im good again.
The way i look at this, its just a set back...lifes full of em. Hell, the doctor said what ya gonna do bout ur training?. I simply replied "looks like im gonna have some big mother fuckin legs by the time this finger heals." He just stared for a moment, then told me that if were him he'd never lift again. But thats where we differ. Unless his goal is to be an over worked doctor with no other aspirations, the he's just gonna trudge thru his mediocre life wanting more. Me, i want it all. I go out and get mine, end of story. I am Animal. As i said, just a set back.
