What do I and Rugby League player Andrew Johns have in common? Yesterday, I competed in the NSW state taekwondo championships. In the first round of my finals fight I let my guard down, which my opponent subsequently took advantage of, kicking me squarely in the left jaw and fracturing it. I didn’t realise what had happened at the time, and there was no visible damage, so I finished my two rounds but disappointingly lost, only scoring 1/3rd as much as he did. Today I visited a bunch of radiographers, dentists and hospitals, but the good news is I don’t need surgery. Just a couple of weeks of painkillers and eating through a straw, and 6 weeks later it will be healed (in theory)! I have to get an X-ray every week until then, so I’ll see how it goes.

Ouch indeed. Wishing you a good recovery!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it!
Sorry ’bout that.
Enjoy the soup, yogurt, and milkshakes :P
I believe sucking Guinness through a straw has magical healing properties. And it gets you drunk quicker :)
Don’t be trying any Blender coding just after doing it though ;)
Good luck with the healing dude!

Hey!
i came upon your site by accident, or so…and i was looking at your graphic art, its insane and great, nice work, i am an amature 4d artist, i use vue d espirit and photoshop and i tried to learn 3d studio max but it was to hard, i was wondering what is the program you use? and im guessing you cant really download it off the net can you?
Thanks, guys! :) Things are getting better, I can eat soft food again now. Things like this really make you appreciate the simple things in life.
