The doctor said I'm special.

On January 19, I tripped on uneven sidewalk while jogging down 30th Street with a superb friend. The blue brace on my right hand is what I originally bought for my left hand until I received the fabulous black wrist brace close to 2 weeks after I fell.

My x-ray on January 21, showed a crack in my ulnar styloid. Using one hand in addition to the amount of writing and typing I do has caused tendonitis in my right hand (hence the brace for some support).

My follow-up x-ray on February 22 indicated that the crack on my ulnar styloid is still there, indicating the possibility of chronic fracture deformity (what's that??). I received a referral for an orthopedist. The physician's assistant explained that when people typically fall they break the radius bone. He said that I'm special. I did not crack the bone most people break.

I didn't need to crack a bone to know that I don't do what most people do. I've known that my entire life; finally, however, I have come to embrace my atypicality. We all bear different traits of God. We're all special. :)
