I’ll start off by saying that my off-season had been going pretty well up to about a week ago. After 10 years, I’ve relearned 720s…. Yes, I said 10 years. 1997 was the year I pulled my first 720. I only had 7s for about 6 monthes or so, but anyways….. There’re back! For a short recap, I injuried my thumb last year in my industrial accident with a beltsander. In my accident I totally lost my thumb nail. So about a week ago, my thumb started to get red and swell. Days later, my painful thumb developed alittle pus head on the surface. My wife popped the head and the amount of green and bloody pus that came out of my thumb was unbelievable. Two days later I was seeing my old plastic surgeon. Dr. Rizzuti had me at the edge of my seat, with two quick shots and a half-inch slice down the side of my thumb. He had to cut me open to drain the 5 day infection. So, I’m out for a couple of weeks. But its no big deal, x-mas time is here and I’m going down to hang with my parents in sunnydale Florida for the holidays. See you guys in 2008! Mike Laird
