How are you, Carla?
9:08 am
hokie carla

good, how about you?
9:09 am
Scrabbler

Good. Hiking, mtn biking, and gardening in HOT weather.
9:09 am
hokie carla

very hot here as well. gonna have to take a golf break so I need to get back into mtn biking if I can do that. :D
9:10 am
Scrabbler

I took 4 years off from mtn biking due to shoulder injury---> PT, surgery, more PT. I am happy to be back on my bike.
9:13 am
hokie carla

I just haven't been riding due to golf. But I think I either have a bone bruise or broken bone in my hand, so it's possible I won't be able to bike either. going to try to walk in at an ortho urgent care this week.
9:13 am
Scrabbler

Ouch.
9:17 am
hokie carla

yep, incredibly painful if I hit an exact spot
9:20 am
Scrabbler

Which bone?
9:20 am
hokie carla

side of hand at bottom of pointer finger
9:20 am
Scrabbler

How did you get hurt?
9:22 am
hokie carla

one day playing golf. I might've hit the ground instead of the ball, but it was like a month ago, so details are vague in my mind. It turned blue right away but then I thought it was better. took two weeks off when I was on vacation but still played tennis and it hurt a couple of times.
9:22 am
Scrabbler

Crooked?
9:23 am
hokie carla

it's left hand, so in tennis it's only a problem occasionally with backhand. but sometimes if I'm opening a door with left hand the doorknob hits the perfect spot.
9:23 am
hokie carla

not really crooked just sticking out farther than the right hand
9:24 am
Scrabbler

If there is a fracture, it is now healed after a month.
9:25 am
hokie carla

played golf on Fri and had a few painful swings so then I was like hitting every which way because I was subconsciously changing my grip to avoid the pain.
9:26 am
Scrabbler

Yes. Whether a bone bruise or fracture, you may have a lump and pain for a few months. Can you fully flex and extend the finger?
9:26 am
hokie carla

yeah, I figured as much but read online that a bone bruise could turn chronic so I guess I just need someone to look at it and tell me what not to do.
9:26 am
Scrabbler

An X-ray will show a healing fracture, if present.
9:26 am
hokie carla

yes, can do everything normal, just shooting pain if it hits that specific spot on the bone.
9:31 am
Scrabbler

I passed halfway, so I am done. Enjoy the day, Carla.
9:37 am
hokie carla
