Just got back from the doctor and I broke my pinky, ring and middle fingers on my left hand after a collision in my softball game last night. Luckily my wrist is OK, funny, because I thought it might have been broken. Yes, this happened in softball.

So, I am out for 3 weeks and I have to go really easy on my hand. No jet skiiing, no softball, limited weight lifting, no golf at all. :(

What a PITA.

Just had to vent.

What is it with you and Aaron and softball? Too lazy to actually run?

"Oh no! I got a hangnail! No softball for a month!"

;)...Just kidding with ya. My knee brace comes off permanently this Friday. Then I get to start running on a treadmill and maybe - just maybe - I'll get to take the bike out on the road instead of indoors on the trainer...*hopes*

Injuries suck. Ask me how I know...

Carter

Ya buncha gimps! :D
Just kidding. I broke my wrist playing softball years ago and it kept me from playing guitar for MONTHS. My empathy goes out to you.

A little off topic but where in Georgia do you live Scott? I saw a black Dinan 7 in East Cobb last weekend.

:95

I play through all kinds of ailments that would sideline lesser individuals.

For love of the game...

Hey man, I live up towards Athens just before Winder. I don't make it out to Cobb much...maybe it was Ron.
BTW - PM me when you have some time please...I may be interested in a part for my car.

Thanks.

Hangovers don't count.

Dude, that's between you and Nicole.

Ron.. Carter was not supposed to know about that.. :rolleyes:

That's just wrong. :confused:

That's just wrong. :confused:

I don't make the gossip -- I just report it.

I wish I could play. But there is no way I can play for at least 2 weeks. After that I will evaluate.

!Excuses

Rub some dirt on it and get back out there.

Bahhhh! I can't even get my glove on.

I am most pissed that I was to play in a golf tournament for work on Friday. So much for that.

Too hurt to play golf?!? :eyecrazy:

Shoot yourself in the foot and get an injury worth whining about.

It wasn't Ron, the guy I saw was around 20 years old. I just PM'd you.

:confused:

can't exactly hold a golf club with a splint on 3 fingers and a sprained wrist.

I think I will shoot myself in the knee and then squat 1300 lbs instead.

And Aaron is back with 33% more sarcasm :laugh

Pour some 'Tussin on it.. It will fix it..

Bah. Hopefully I can start running again next week.

Trust me, I feel your pain. Not being able to walk for 6 weeks can really make you antsy at home.

Carter

no doubt. I recognize that my injury is not serious, and in the grand scheme of things, not even too inconvenient. It is just a dissapoinment to have things that you have been looking forward to for a while be out of the question. Especially for such a small thing like a few fingers.

At least I can still walk, drive, etc. They only want me to wear the splints for 7-10 days. Hopefully I can just tape them after that.

7-10 days? Must be nice. This Sunday makes it 15 weeks since I tore my knee up. I'm up to about 45lbs. on the leg extension and hamstring curl (vs. 75lbs for the other leg), but my right leg is still about half the size of the left. I'm also starting to do what can actually be considered a cardiovascular workout.

Thankfully, I have managed to maintain my sanity.

Carter

Don't you remember? Sarcasm is bad, m-kay?

One of the members here said so himself.

I see your broken fingers and raise you with a broken neck (really).

i got some killer misquito bites.


hXc yo

I think I will drink tonight to dull the pain (both physical and emotional) :)

Good to hear it. If you let the pain win then you let the terrorists win.

Carter

If you let the pain win, you're a pussy.

If you let the pain win, you're a pussy.

That too.:D

If you let the pain win, you're a pussy.

there's that 33% that we have been missing. I still think it is more like 50%. ;)

64%?

No.

we never miss a party cause we keep them going constantly.

Give it a month and it'll catch up. Just don't rush it and re-injure it. I did that with a torn shoulder ligament two years ago. It took three times as long to come back in strength to where it was before.

What did you do?

The fingers are getting much better, really only having problems with the middle one. I might be able to play golf in my brother's law firm's best ball tourney Friday. Only thing, is they are on the left hand, so maybe not. Bahhh.

What did you do?

I tore my ACL (completely) and meniscus in March playing soccer. Last Friday I got the doc's OK to stop wearing my knee brace and to cycle/lift weights as much as I want to strengthen my leg muscles.

No running/jumping for another 2 months, though.:(

I'm definitely being cautious in rehabbing it. No need to get over-zealous and go through this crap all over again.:nono:

I've started doing low-weight/high-rep lifting at the gym. 90 hamstring curls can wear a brotha out.

Carter

90 hamstring curls can wear a brotha out.

Stop complaining. Do it for the children of Madagascar.

All this leg workout talk reminds me its leg workout day...wooo hooo
