Saturday

We were at the LAN, playing some warcraft, when we decided to go skating for a little while to get some air, and shoot the breeze. Myself, chenny, coggo and chito piled in the chitomobile and fanged on down to lidcombe skate bowl. Chito was happily peetering around in the carpark, while the rest of us were riding the bowl, and just taking it easy.

Chito was doing quite well on the flat carpark, so he decided to progress to the perils of the shallow end of the bowl. After a shaky start, and a nasty fall, chito was on his way to tony hawk-dom skating the shallow end nicely. Well, as every good extreme sportsmen knows, enough is nevar enough, so chito decided to go that little bit higher, that little bit further. Unfortunately, gravity caught up with chito and he fell heavily on his ankle.

Chenny and myself helped him up, after a good 5 mins of lying on the concrete clutching his ankle... and we stumbled over to the car. I was designated abulence man, due to my limited but superior knowledge of hospital locations, and we drove off trying to figure out what the hell we were going to do. We agreed that auburn hospital would be a good place to start, because of its convinient close proximity to my house, so we ushered him into the emergency ward there in a wheelchair.

The hospital staff were really nice, and they have been laughing and joking with us a lot. Their diagnosises (is that even a word?) need some consistency though. At first we were sure that it was broken, and chito was stripped and put into a gown. We left him there for the night to await x-rays the next day.

I popped in this morning and it seemed like it's not as bad as we first thought. The x-rays didn't show anything abnormal, but he had a cast on, so they said they would take some more. Just to check that it's really all good. I bid chito adieu and went to eat some sweet sweet breakfast. Chito had had only one bowl of gyudon in the last 30 something hours as food (red chito needs food badly).

It's about this time that our story takes a twist. Gus came round to pick up his box, and brought shelle with him Now if none of you believe in presdestined fate, then I assure you this will change your mind. Shelle came to visit chito at the hospital, and when we got their he informed us that he has a spiral fracture. THe same kind of break that shelle had 2 weeks ago. Well, we had a bit of a field day taking photos and ribbing chito (no more "karma?" comments plz kthx!) until we had to go. He has gone into surgery in the last half hour, and he should be at auburn hospital until tuesday. Come visit, and stop by my house on the way through.

Overall chito is doing well, he's not in a HUGE amount of pain, and he's managed to keep his sense of humour and have a bit of fun in a bad circumstance. Photos located at:

in conclusion:
hunt: "he wont be able to snowboard, and he just bought a board in japan"
coggo: "aw... he'll have to lend it to me"
chenny: "it is an oxygen though man... you might be better off hiring"

Friday

I went to headshot (gaming place) with the zion dudes tonight. It was ok... but it wasn't much of a challenge We played some cs, dc, other various acronymns. I'm not really sure how, but one of the kids got their phone stolen, so that was a rather crap end to a good night of zion.

After zion I went to the snake run at lidcombe with coggo and dee. We skated until about 2am and then played some networked games until we fell asleep in the wasd position.
