markyj987 Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 I've been away for nearly a month recovering from my first ever sports-related injury. About four weeks ago during a softball game, a line drive came back at me as I was pitching...and this was the result... A couple days later, they pinned it all back together...and the pins were just removed on Tuesday. I'm still in quite a bit of pain and am not online much...but at least this time I have a good reason for not posting for a while...LOL After 8 weeks of occupational therapy starting tomorrow, I might actually be able to get some normal motion back. I never noticed how vital that little finger was until this... My goal...to be playing again in a couple weeks against doctor's orders...LOL Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know I'm back, but don't think my posts will contain their normal redundance and depth...

VTbowman Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: DOH! Oh baby does that bring back terrible memories.. I had a simular injury while playing LaCrosse during my USAF days. I was wacked with a 6 foot long oak handle defencemens stick, threw a padded glove, and broke 2 fingers, shattered one of them bad... I did not get "pinned" though... Dang cheap USAF. LOL Actaully I am glad I did not. I would of puked 4 times a day seeing pins sticking out of me. Yes I am a whimp when it comes to that sort of thing. But only on me. LOL Do yourself a favor and stick to what the Doc says. I did not and pay for it now with pain in those fingers now. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyj987 Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: DOH! The pins weren't that bad and I got used to how they looked... When it happened, I swelled up right away and I grabbed my finger, trying to make myself believe it was just jammed...then felt the bones rub against each other. It actually happened during batting practice before the first game...and I played anyway. I only went 1-3 though...lol Then I elected to have the procedure done under a local anesthetic even though they were initially going to give me a general. I hate needles, I hate going to the doctor...but now I'm convinced that I'm pretty tough...LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_lou Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Re: DOH! I took a softball to the thumbguard of my glove. Broke my thumb at the knuckle. Spent six weeks in a cast. Good thing I didn't listen to the doctors and started playing again in 3 weeks with the cast(I just batted). Heal Up and get back out there.
