a broken finger. awesome!!

I've never broken any part of my body in my life. I always thought I have strong bones. But it maybe also because I never go to see the doctor once injured. In this current case, it has already been a month since I broken my finger before going to the doctor. The broken finger was cause by a bullet pass from my qb during a flag football game. I continued playing and scored 2 rushing TD's.

The only reason I went to have the xray was because the swelling worsen after playing football again in the weekend earlier. The doctor told me I may have a fractured finger and I can do the xray if I just want confirmation. So I did the xray and waited for the result the next day. I got a surprise call at 9am in the morning from the health center to hear that it was worst than expected; I had a broken finger all along.

Today I went to see a specialist, an orthopedic. He was surprised that I never went to see the doctor earlier since the incident must be really painful. It should have needed surgery if I were to see him earlier. I told him I never broken anything before, and the pain was normal to me so I assumed it was just a dislocated finger. I even continued to play flag football and guitar hero with the finger.


The orthopedic was even more surprised that the bone did not slip even with a big chunk missing at the joint. He was afraid that it may happen during the healing process. So I have to wear a splint on my left middle finger for a month. That means no computer gaming, guitar hero or flag football for that period. Bummer. But at least I can still play my xbox with my controller. I even won an online match earlier on Madden 10 with a splint on my finger. The other guy sucks anyway.
