But I Thought Tai Chi Was a Mild Martial Art?

The Swelling of my Broken Hand, you can see the black starting to rise up underneath the skin

This post will be short on words.  I busted my right hand last night, and the temporary cast stretches all the way to the tips of my fingers.  It’s definitely slowing my writing down, so I’ll include more pictures than anything.
