One catch: on your lists of what injuries you didn't suffer you have "laceration." Umm... yeah, you got that when the bone protruded from your arm. B|


D'oh! That's a good point, considering they stapled shut the hole it made. That being said, it was a small cut. A laceration-lite, I say. ;)

However, (in response to your p.s. above), I think you portrayed your comparative situation quite nicely. Definitely not smug! You are absolutely correct. In the realm of what could go wrong, you have the right perspective. Heal up fast! Can't wait to see you back in the sky.:)

Thanks. :)

Here's the latest one:
How I Broke My Arm & Leg, Part II: Lucky Ducky

Here's why I didn't get too unglued about my accident. I'm not glad it happened, but I remember that it could have been way worse.

p.s. I'm hoping this doesn't come across as me being smug that I "only" got somewhat hurt.



Very nice one, again.
I liked the Frida Kahlo Duck. I think there is a museum with a collection of "Duckitised Portraits" - it definitely would fit in there, nice work!
I also liked the Switzerland Duck climbing up the mountain and the evil capricorns (Alpine ibex) loitering on your way to the top... BTW, Duck wearing Lederhosen (leather shorts) - it's Oktoberfest time! Already had a beer or two? ;)
Your "I'm pretty well off considered it could have been much much worse" finishing picture is also a good one to think about. Nothing smug, on the contrary I dare to say.

I hope you're progressing fast. Just being curious: Do the surgeons want to remove your Borg implants or are you (like me) going to become an airport metal detector trigger? Hehe hehe.

As for the "I pushed the limits of landing" - it not only happens to ducks but also to swans, see pic attached. (Reads in English: My landing speed's too high! Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t!"
The sky is not the limit. The ground is.

Thanks. At first I thought it would be a stretch to have cast Frida as the "You think YOU have problems!?" person, but I she seems to be a hit. And I had fun drawing her.

I think I have the parts for good. This should liven things up at the airport security lines. B|

It wont help you heal any faster but at least you will know there are others like you. Just made my 17 and 18th jump and also my first and second landings on my feet!!!!
I have already had my first reserve ride (and that's nothing to be bragging about) do to my poor stability!
But since you included the Swiss theme at least I have a fellow jumper who is Swiss and she has been kind enough to start teaching me how to speak Swiss (at my slow pace)!!!
So get well and continue to falshirm springe!! (parachute jump)
Damn I hope I got that right!!

I just happened to find the following video which proves we ducks are daredevils, but usually very careful ones - clicky. It's quite a miracle that accidents happen to us, must have been statistical irregularities? ;)B|

Ah, and I just found a nice pic that shows how you should address "Mr Inner Critic" if he once again tries to diss you. (It's NOT a photoshop job, just a flower, but looks hilarious!)

Not sure what the narrator is saying...



At the start: "But even then, the parents are not far away"

I'm guessing those were young birds learning to fly.
That was sort of a "swooping hurts" video for birds.

These ducks have a hard time walking on ice clicky
This video shows why we shouldn't jump in high winds... :)B|



Good ones.:D
I also found a photo of "me" in rehab. Looks like they got the date wrong, but otherwise it's familiar...


So um. . .*cough* *ahem*. . .Do you have Aflac?

Groan! :D [roll eyes] :D [roll eyes]


We, as a group, are so slow, :$ It took this long for someone to catch it!

Jennifer, I hope you are doing well and progressing on target. :)

Thanks! I don't have anyone to compare myself with but I think I'm doing well. Still can't do much with the busted arm (I was told not to mess with it,) but I've been excercising the "bad" leg and it's getting much more flexible. B|

Maybe because we've only been "Duckzone.com" for a little over a year.
