3. Stupidity can indeed be painful. Very, very painful.
As to number 2 in your post I learned that at 16... broke the right ring finger in the middle of my hand and dislocated the pinky.... My hand looked like a foot.
1/2 cast for six weeks with three pins for the first three weeks. Oh and a month after getting out of that cast I broke my right wrist in a cycling accident as I was riding the wrong way in the bus lane in front of the high school and had a head on with an old Scout II.
Good luck in your healing.
