The conversation went like this (I wanted to take a screenshot, but I just figured out that my phone doesn&#8217;t do that without downloading an app):<\/p>\n<p>FFK: Finished Yet?<br \/>\nMe: Yeah. 3rd after a flat and a bad wreck<br \/>\nFFK: You OK after the wreck?<br \/>\nMe: I may have broken my hand<br \/>\nFFK: Minor details :)<br \/>\nFFK: A broken hand X-Ray is worth some free beer<\/p>\n<p>So, the next morning, I went to the Minor Med place to get checked out, and was given the aforementioned diagnosis and fitted with some finger splints:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4948.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4317\" title=\"DSC_4948\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4948-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4948-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4948.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly enough, I can still do prettymuch everything I need to do at work, with the exception of adjusting hubs and truing wheels&#8230; the little arms of the splints get caught up on the spokes. Also, I occasionally have to use a screwdriver to open up a tight quick release. I did get called Edward Scissorhands when I was trying to re-wrap an old gripshift cable.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, I noticed that my middle finger is not healing straight. My days as a hand model are officially over.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4949.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4318\" title=\"DSC_4949\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4949-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4949-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4949.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, Kenny kept with his promise, and I found this in the mailbox:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4946.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4316\" title=\"DSC_4946\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4946-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4946-300x199.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.brickhouseracing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/DSC_4946.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The healing process is slow. I can work or ride a little without my fingers splinted, but they start to get sore after a couple of hours. It&#8217;s going to be an indefinite amount of time before I can ride my road bike since I can&#8217;t operate the front brake right now. Luckily, I can still operate my mountain bike with no issues, so my training doesn&#8217;t have to take a break for healing.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, the ortho will have a positive prognosis when I visit on Monday.
