Broke my hand

It have been a while since I blogged .... I had some issues with my brother in law that lead me to punch the kitchen wall instead of his jaw...
It all started in mid may there was a PPV boxing event between MannyPacquiao and Shane Mosley so my best friend in USA "Sam" was throwing a small party to watch the fight and BBQ so he invited me and I said yeah I will be there ... so a week before the fight my brother in law who got married in July who wanted and begged me to be his best man invited me to his birthday party that he is having and to watch the fight... I said that I already told Sam am going to his, then my in law started "oh you are my best man and am getting married in a month or 2 and it is my birthday ..." so I felt guilty and i said OK i will ditch my friend who really got mad at me for flaking on him, now every time we are doing something he tells me not to flake....My wife had to work late that day so she will have the car, I told my in law and his fiancée that I will be taking the VTA light rail to get to the party , they said no they will pick me and my mother in law that day so I was like thank you!!! the PPV starts at 6:00 pm, so the night before I stayed up very late that i woke up around 2:30 pm I was happy because I had time to shower and get ready for the party. My mom in law told me around 3:00 pm that they called earlier at 10:00 am to pick us up... I was like confused because we agreed to the afternoon so I called the fiancée to let her know that I am ready to be picked whenever they have time she said good she will be picking me up around 4:00 pm because she is picking up the egg rolls.....so I waited till 6:00 pm and no one showed up or even called I tried calling no one answered their phones my friend "SAM" called me he was surprised that I am still at home he said the fights started I said I know bro am so pissed I asked what time he think the main event will be at ??? he said there is 2 main events so different weight divisions .... but the main one we wanted to watch was Manual's one. It started at 7:40 pm. He offered to come pick me up so I can make it to his party at least, I said i will call him at 7:20 in case I am ditched... 7:20 is here and no one called me or showed up or answered my phone .... I left a voicemail saying to please don't come pick me up i left the house plus a text msg saying the same....I called my friend to come pick me up so he did and we made it right on time to watch the fight... I appreciate and thank god that I have friend like him who left one of the main events to pick me up so we can enjoy a nice fight together with his family ....I called my wife I told her I will only forgive and talk to her brother in 2 cases, someone died or they were in a car accident... She got mad she thought that I am trying to make problems with her brother who few days earlier started to change because his fiancée's uncle offered to be best man and throw a bachelor party ... I already said we could not afford anything like that I was 8 months without a job and they said they did not care but now things changed. Sam drove me back home, my wife was there and she called her brother's fiancée and asked her why they did not pick me up.... her excuse was she stayed till 7:45 waiting for the egg rolls plus her cell's batteries is dead and his cell phone fell in water... then they hung up... I did not believe that bullshit they did not even apologize to me for ditching me....the next morning my stupid brother in law is on facebook wishing happy mother's day for all the friends and family moms.... not even stopping or sending me a message to my page apologizing to me ....so I went to his page and left him a msg saying i am sorry i can never talk to him again ,i will not be his best man and I wish him best of luck and happiness and i said that he had time to wish happy mother's day to everyone except saying sorry for ditching me...
His reply was his gf lost track of time and did not finish running around till 5:45pm.....
I was really feeling so disrespected why his gf lied yesterday on the phone and said 7:45 that's 2 hrs difference...This is what was happening in my head " what am I a chair in this life??? where is my respect? where I come from we never do shit like this ....My ego like they called me here and I don't care if dignity and self respect to me means ego to the world then am extremely proud of my ego and to hell with anyone who don't like my ego...." SO I PUNCHED THE KITCHEN WALL AND I BROKE MY HAND...
Then my wife understood what just happened and decided she doesn't want to talk to them anymore as well... That is so much for her to give up... I know my baby love that much....
My hand started to swell like crazy so I put some ice packs, I did not realize that my hand is broken and how much the pain was ... It was nothing comparing to the pain I used to get when I had Cancer so my brain thinking was just swelling...The next day we decided that i Might need to get some Xray's so I went to ER at Stanford the lady said this is broken I asked her how did you know she start laughing she said she been in ER long enough to know ....
we done some xray's and my hand was broken they had to put a splint for a week till I see the doctor because they said the hand will swell more for few days...
I seen the doctor a week later and he said it will better if we do a surgery on and put pins for 4 weeks and then another 4 weeks without pins in a cast .... so 2 months here are pictures of my xrays with the pin and me in the cast ....

After the red cast was off I had to keep a removable cast on my hand you can see in the picture below that's when we went camping in July. The camping pictures and stories will be in another blog....
