A while ago I sprained my right wrist, while trying to learn to ride backwards on my unicycle. Last year while I was starting out on the uni, I smashed my shin with those, almost lethal, trials pedals that my bike came with. I got some deep holes in the flesh, and I catched some inflamation in them. So early this year, I bought some shin guards to protect me from that never happening again.

But I have never had a serious fall on the unicycle, and I apparently thought I was immortal or something like that, because I tried to ride backwards without protecting my wrists in any way. And I've felt the result for the last month now. I haven't been able to write that much, as the hand position for writing hurt too much, and I couldn't do it for long periods, without taking breaks very often.

But now my wrist is almost back to normal, so I can write some more again. And the next thing I'm going to buy for myself is wrist guards - that's for sure!
