Sooo, on November 16th I was hooping and I tried to reach in and intercept a pass and the ball hit the tip of my finger and I heard a -POP!-... I immediately hit the fetal position and screamed and cursed
... I didn't even want to look at my hand...once I did, I noticed my finger wouldn't straighten out on its own... So I left the gym, went to my crib and showered and drove myself to the ER... When I got there they took X-rays and said I had a mallet finger (Torn tendon)...SOOO, I had a follow up appointment with a orthopedic doctor/Plastic Surgeon on November 28th and he looked at the X-Rays that the hospital sent to his clinic and told me "Welp, your finger is broke and you're going to need surgery ASAP"...I said "WHAT?!...I was never told that my finger was broke!"...and then he showed me the X-Ray
...And indeed it was BROKE...I had surgery the next day and he drilled into my finger and put a K-Wire in to hold the bone together ....anyway, here are my pics...ENJOY...or not
Pic I took on the way to the ER
Pic of the splint that was put on the day I hurt it
My X-Ray, The fracture is where that white line is...
Splint the Orthopedic Doc gave me the day before my surgery
Right before Surgery
Post Surgery, You can see the K-Wire sticking out the tip of my finger
The Healing Process...Green label wiskey and a ton of TLC from the wife (BIG UP's to HER!)
This sucks because I drive with my left hand....
