Scrabbler

Babble is back!

9:01 am

rururocks

wow.. scrabbler you've been mia for a long time

9:04 am

Scrabbler

I lurk every morning and depart after passing halfway. How are you? Have you moved?

9:07 am

hokie carla

rehi - hey ruru and scrabbs

9:08 am

Scrabbler

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

you too!

9:37 am

hokie carla
