Hobbies fer Cripples cont.

It's a good thing Crumby started up his sak hobby.  Because the crippled up woes continue on and on.  That's right.  Crumby still can't walk at a good pace.   And now, the lack of exercise combined with nervous eating and drinking has packed on many an unattractive pound or two.  Mercy!

But that's not all.  Months ago, Crumby was fixing a bicycle when a Demon made Crumby smash his finger. Now, months later the nail has never grown back right and the finger is infected.  This condition, an infection alongside a nail, is known to real doctors as Paronychia.  Left untreated, Paronychia will lead to blood poisoning followed by a miserable, painful death.  In the meantime it hurts like Hades.

Interestingly,  the name  Paronychia also applies to a genera within the great plant family, Caryophyllaceae.  Paronychia, the pink family genera is mostly appreciated by field botanists and few others.

Meantime, with one index finger sorely afflicted, even the sedate hobby of sak collecting is in jeopardy.  For now the pleasures associated with opening and closing the various sak implements on the collectibles is limited to the right hand only.  For Goddess sakes!
