How to Properly Break Your Ankle: Days 5 - 13

After only a day and a half of being home, I got physical proof of being turned into a cyborg.

I can only hope one day I can be as awesome as him. I imagine it would look a little like this:

I would expect my hair to be orange to match the awesome-ness.
