Solo Hosp Visit; Sweet Training; Crash

This entry will be very short due to my current situation which has rendered me incapacitated for typing. And as as u can see now i am going to take most all possible typing shortcuts bc i am writing only w my left hand. this will be a different style entry.

wednesday, hospital: went alone. thought it would be much easier than it was, bc was told it would be by co teacher (ct). overall, the nurse had to escort me to various places in the hospital; saw the doctor one more time as a follow up consultation type thing; got the prescriptions (paper); went downstairs to pay; was directed to pharmacy with piece of paper to give them. didn't fully understand how that worked so i ended up standing in front of the counter like a fool for about 10 min trying to hand them a piece of paper while the people behind the counter just looked at the paper and then looked away and avoided eye contact. i'm assuming they didnt speak english and couldnt explain that i was suppsed to come up only when my number was on the screen...i had no idea how the system worked...but 10 min later someone called my name and spoke to me in english to instruct me on how to take the meds. got 6 months worth of 2 medications for 122,000 won. sickeningly cheap. left hosp with a monkey load of med. looked strange im sure.

thurs: ran 85 min in am - didnt go to practice wed bc hosp took so long so thats why i ran thurs. longest run ive ever done! was super pumped.

sat: got wall fixed because there was water damage, so had to miss bike practice in am. swim practice at night was amazing. super fast, at least for me. did long sets compared to usual sprints. 500 warm up, then 1000m at 85%m 500m at 90%, 500m at 95%. last 500m was 9min flat, with pull buoy. i was suuuper pumped! after swim practice went to see bond movie. excellent.

sun: ohh sunday. basically....crashed into a pole, broke my bike, almost broke my hand (i'm pretty sure its not broken). was one of those pole=gate type things that they have so motor vehicles cant get through (i think thats why they are there) - 3 or 4 poles, space between about..i dunno, 2 feet? we were doing laps in a parking lot and it was the 15th lap or so so i had no excuse - was going too fast and took the turn to pass between the poles too fast and at too small of an angle and smashed right into the pole on right hand side, and fell down. in front of one of the girls on the team (was riding with the younger kids). bent my right hand shifter....hugely. derailleur wouldnt move. luckily there was a mechanic at practice who fixed it, and in a very short time too. and he unbent the shifter, i dont know how. miraculous.
after practice we went to coachs house and he and his wife took care of my hand - gave me ice and treatment and bandaged it. then we ate some egg and apple and jam sandwiches....soooo delicious...and then some persimmons (soooooo good too) and some oodeng, which is like moist fish bread (its much better than i am making it sound). then we took a rest before running. unfortunately no swimming bc of my hand. bah. it was such a nice day too, like 60 deg and sunny! :( but we went to igidae park, my favorite place in busan, to run. it was me, coach and his wife, and we hiked for a bit and then they set me loose to run. i ran for 110 min!!!!! longest by far that i have ever run! and since i was able to do that with minimal stopping i have decided that i will do the marathon in january. im scared but it will be good practice. :)
after that we ate some more food - left handed chopsticks are very interesting....and then they took me home because they didnt want me riding my bike w my hand as it was. so a very eventful day. and a very eventful week at that.
