Instructions
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Now,  it  turns  out,  when  you've  been    with  sea  urchin  spines,  and  you're  two  days  away  from  any  medical  help,  the  thing  that  you've  got  to  do  is,  unfortunately,  cook  your  hand.  So  you  put  it  in  water  as  hot  as  you  can  stand,  and  you  keep    boiling  water  until  you  think  you  will  go  absolutely  insane.  Now,  it  worked  -  the  hand  itself  did  not  work  so  well  for  several  weeks  after  that,  but  ,  fine  motor    returned.  All  except  for  one  spot,  that  stayed    and  painful  for  weeks  after  the  other  things  had  gotten  better.  So  it  turned  out,  I'd  broken  off  a  tip  of  the  urchin  spine  in  the  joint  itself,  and  that's  why  it  wasn't  getting  better.  So  the  orthopedist  says,  "You  know,  we  should  get  this  out.  Nothing  too  urgent,  not  emergency."  So  we    a  small  surgery  for  a  few  weeks  out  on  a  Monday.  And  on  the  Friday  before,  I  broke  my  pelvis  in  a  horseback    accident.
