This Linger Longer was painful

The other day I was teaching music to a really cute 6th grade class in the morning. I was leaning my elbow against the piano as I gave them instruction on one of our songs, and as I went to turn around and play the piano for my students, I accidentally wacked my funny bone against the corner of the piano quite hard; I have never in my life bumped my funny bone so hard, and it hurt soooo bad! I felt pain and numbness shoot down my arm. And had an audience of onlookers awaiting my reaction. I said "That really hurts!!! Ouuuuu!!!" as I started laughing. I was telling Ben (our outstanding Medical student) this story later, and he clued me in on the anatomy of my elbow (love it!). My Ulner Nerve was actively hurting for the rest of the day, and at all of my other schools, whenever I bent my elbow it was really painful. I'm just glad that I didn't pass out, because I have heard of that happening to other people (i.e. be careful playing ping pong). Can you imagine what my students would have done if that had happened to me? My co-worker Andy had a bad accident using some wood working tools a while ago, and got a deep cut on his finger. When he was telling me this story I said, "And then you said, "Gee willikers that hurts," Huh?" He said, "Yeah, that's what I said." When I told Andy that I really wacked my elbow while teaching, he teased me by saying, "and then you said 'Gee willikers that hurts' didn't you?"
