Rask - you're right....damn it hurts! :p I slept with something cold on it and the swelling's gone down and it feels a lot less painful when I clentch my fist...Fortunately I'm pretty certain it is just swelling and there's no permenate "damage".
A baseball bat, eh?....hmmmmmmmm...hehehe
I won't try and defend myself, I suppose if I hadn't of been drunk I perhaps wouldn't of done anything - but I had been getting wound up all night and so, to be honest, I probably would have anyway...
I too would rather be able to enjoy myself (not that I did this time!!!) without forever worrying about damaging myself and setting my playing back...

So, has anyone else had their playing set back from injuries or something? I'll expand the question from somewhat self inflicted to general injuries and the like...Cheers people, take care, see y'all around.
