So I played Ultimate tonight for the first time in like 5 weeks without my splint. It went very well and didn’t hurt at all. Also, I was out on my bike for the first time in 5 weeks as well. I can’t even begin to explain how awesome it is to be able to go do those things again. Looking forward to getting out on the bike again.
The Hand
August 20th, 2008Another trip to Bridger Orthopedic
July 23rd, 2008Well I went up there to have the hand specialist look over my x-rays and give me the final word. It seems the bone has indeed slipped a bit but he says it is not surgery worthy. I will most likely have a bump on the back of my hand where it broke and that knuckle will be a bit smaller than the same one on the other hand but that won’t matter. I get to get rid of this stupid splint next week and can downgrade to taping that finger to another one. The bone should take about 3 months to heal completely.
Follow-up X-rays
July 22nd, 2008Well the follow-up x-rays confirmed it. My left leg is hollow and that is where all the food goes to allow me to eat so much. I’m so funny, but seriously, I had my hand x-rayed again and the doctor was not 100% convinced that the bone is in the right place so he is having me go see the hand specialist at Bridger Orhipedic. Nothing like trying to save money and instead spending it all on doctor visits. At least I’ll reach my deductable early this year.
Also, just so you know, it is really hard to move with only 1 hand. I managed to move my entire bed and dressers by myself though, which was fun…not really.
Typing one handed
July 8th, 2008Why am I typing one handed? Its because when I dive full speed and my hand takes the full force of the collision with another person the little bones in my hand don’t hold up so well apparently.
I’ll find out tomorrow if its indeed broken or just really sprained.
