Busted Stuff



So here is my hand, and that little spur coming off the back of it is... not "normal"
While I was making preparations for our Moab trip I wanted to check the brakes on the durango to make sure they would be okay for towing. Somehow during that process my brain forgot (twice) how close my jack handle was to our concrete steps, the first time I smashed my thumb so I decided to get a different grip, at which point my vigorous nature took over and my overzealous arm attempted to push my hand (with the jack handle in it) through the concrete steps, they won. So here is the proof of either my stupidity or severe short term memory loss.
I thought maybe some of the medically aware people that read my blog may fully appreciate the pics
So now on Monday I have to go see a specialist (hand doctor, not sure what they are called). It may require surgery because of how it is spiraled.
And to answer the potential question, yes I have just been dealing with it for the last 13 days, thinking that somehow it would fix itself. It didn't hurt excessively bad until last night, the doc did prescribe some heavy pain killers, we'll probably get those tomorrow.

That looks like a nasty break... I hope you don't need surgery, but I wouldn't hold my breath!
