As you know, or should know, I'm living in southern Orange County now and I'm having an awesome time making friends and immersing myself in ward activities. Well, we have a powder puff game coming up (and for those of you who don't know, this is basically girl's flag football) and we've started practicing. Last time I was practicing for powder puff I was throwing a ball around with the guy I was dating at the time and it was dark out. Well, one wrong catch and my middle finger on my left hand was dislocated, it was so gross to look at so I held on to it and wouldn't let anyone touch it until we got to the hospital. The doctor set it back, yada yada, I was on drugs which was really fun for the guy with me, yada yada..... Anyway... I was throwing around a football again and I was naive enough to not tape my fingers. I'm going to assume that you can all figure out what happened. Yep! I dislocated the same finger!! Well, since I have no cute guy to take me to the hospital these days I decided to woman up and pop the finger back into joint. Yep, that's what I did. I had to give myself a few minutes then I was back on the field running drills and even made a touch down when we scrimmaged.
Yes, now its all swollen and bruised and I'll probably have the ugliest picture of my ring hand whenever that big day comes but I'm feeling awesome because I can say I popped it back in and kept playing. So next time you think of calling me a baby it better be for good reason!

Wow! I'm really impressed. I hope it heals ok, but I've never thought you were a baby...except maybe when you were 4...nope, not even then. You were always tough.
YIKES Twinna! That is insane! Maybe you should go into medicine.
What a WOMAN!!!!
Oh my goodness Britta! You are so athletic. I forgot to tell you... I saw a couple of girls wearing face masks (I am not sure what the correct term is) playing water polo when I watched the UCSD girls. I must say you had the prettiest one by far, or maybe it was just the girl under the mask. ;)
Just reading that made me CRINGE!!! Disneyland!!!
