I went to the orthopedist on Wednesday. Everyone has been raving about how great the clinic is and how their doctors work for the Flyers. I brought my x-rays and only had to wait 15 minutes after filling out my forms. I love how these forms are always asking about my marital status. There were a few other questions along these grounds, but I chose not to commit them to memory. My new orthopedist doc looked at my hand, bent a few fingers, and then gave me words of encouragement. He then taped my pinky to my ring finger with sports tape. Nice. They have to stay this way for four weeks because the ligament in my pinky was torn. My ring finger gets to stand in for aforementioned ligament while I heal. I’ve got some exercises to do with the hand and a follow-up appointment on June 9th. Good times. Here’s one last obligatory gross-out photo of my finger while I was still waiting in the emergency room, along with the obligatory accompanying x-ray of aforementioned finger.
