Laid up

I sustained an injury while letterboxing yesterday. I stepped into a pipe that was hidden by leaves and debris. To do it, you had to step just right and I did. I didn't see it, of course, before hand, and I imagine I was quite a sight falling straight down (and not in a good way). My foot got stuck and to get it out I had to sort of twist it. Which means that I bruised and damaged my shin and calf. Thanks to my hiking buddy, I got home. Then I cleaned it up and dressed and cleaned the wound. There's nothing really that could be done--it wasn't anything you could stitch up. No broken bone, thankfully! But boy did it (and does it) hurt.

Anyway, the upshoot is that I'm stuck laid up for the next few days. I have some crutches, but it's best if I stick to the couch and the bed.

So, I'm asking my buddies, send me links to fun online games or funny youtube videos. Post them in the comments or email me. Anything to keep me amused while I'm out of commission.
