Anyhow i'm up on the roof tearing planks off and throwing them onto the ground. That afternoon we were leaving for a big tattoo in kimberley with
10 or 12 other bands appearing there as well.
Well, off the roof i come, aided only by gravity, and land on the pile of lumber that i have carelessly piled below. Managed to put a rusty nail
through the palm of my right hand on landing,as well as the other cuts and bruises one would expect after a 15 foot tumble.
Made a quick trip to the doc for a tetanus update,got on the bus and away we went. By the time we got there, my hand looked like good sized ham.
I had drank enough 40 proof painkiller so i didn't feel so bad, but my hand!
I didn't play that night in the pubs but kept ice on my hand all night.
The next day i was able to play [sort of]. I am glad it was just a show and not a contest. I didn't have the greatest birl in the world before i fell, i didn't
have one at all now. D throws weren't exactly beautiful either. Bottom line,
it healed and i'm still playing.

ouch!!
