Self bruising

I've had this problem for some time as well. I seem to not get the hint that I should stop before I hit my arm. I guess I just get caught up in the moment.

When I was a little girl, the middle finger of my right hand got caught in the mechanixm of a folding chair, and presto chango, a few centimeters disappeared. After it healed, the nail hangs out over the end, and is never completely "guarded". There's always a little tip hanging out.

The first time I called a technical foul, I, as you say, got caught up in the moment, and really sold the call. Left a little slice out of the palm of my left hand. Ouch!
