Broken
So, I had a lot of big plans for the summer. I was going to bike, play softball, play basketball, play ultimate frisbee, golf, maybe train for another triathlon...I had plans.
Most of those plans came to an abrupt end Thursday night when I broke my right ring finger in a basketball game. Instead of a summer of fun, I have surgery followed by weeks and weeks of healing and physical therapy. Most likely I'll never make a full fist with my right hand again. As many people have noted, there goes my boxing career.
I could write a long, self-pitying post about how devastated I was when I saw the x-rays and saw how much damage had been done to my finger. I could write about how many fears I have about what I will and won't be able to do in the future because of this injury. I could, but I won't write about all that right now, because typing makes blood rush to my broken finger, which, frankly, causes it to hurt a bit more than usual.
There will be plenty of time during the next two months for me to whine some more in this public space. For now, consider me bummed.
