Re: AAaaaaarrrrrrrrggggghhhh!

I'm torn. My rational mind says of course you should wait until your healed. Taking the test now is not worth a life of chronic shoulder pain.

On the other hand I keep hearing the voice of a local karate instructor who says (paraphrase) "You're only as good as your worst day. If you are going to be attacked it's going to be when your leg is in a cast or your arm is in a sling."

"A pacifist is not really a pacifist if he is unable to make a choice between violence and non-violence. A true pacifist is able to kill or maim in the blink of an eye, but at the moment of impending destruction of the enemy he chooses non-violence."
