Broke my Pinky but got lucky

In Off-topic

I was playing Basketball w/ my freind yesterday, he got mad tht I was winning so he kicked the ball and it bounced back to the curve, I went to go pick it up to start the check but I did not realize he was gonna kick it again, he bent my pinky when the ball collided with it

At first I thought it was a sprain, he got nervous but thought the same. I put ice on it and stuff, this morning, I used it as an excuse to not go to school and my mom got so worried she wanted it x-rayed. I did not see any point in it but my older sister took me there just incase.

I got the X rays (the X-Ray guies breath stunk so much, ). Anyway, I went back to the room and a nurse comes in saying how did you do it. I said "What?" and she asked how I broke it. They showed the X-Ray where I have a crack on the side top of my pinky.

She explained that the inflamation I had was the only thing keeping me from insane pain. Got to get it checked out monday . . . they might put a wire in my pinky to fix it

Man, sorry about your luck dude! That really sucks. Hopefully they get you fixed up good. I've never personally had a "confirmed" broken bone, but I think I broke my toe once. When that happens, there's really nothing you can do but take it easy on it.

About the wire... are they planning on sort of filling the crack with it? Sounds like a pain in the *ss.

That's a bad story.

I also haven't broken anything in my body... perhaps a broke a little toe one time, but I didn't go to see a doctor, so I don't know for sure.

Get better soon.

Luckily I will be asleep when the wire goes through.

It's not the fact that my pinky is in pain that pisses me off. It's the fact hat I will be wareing the casting for about a few weeks. Meaning I will miss Gym and Basketball

It gets worse, Just went to the orthopedic to have hopefully goten it fixed to get even worse news. I forget what the guy called it but bassically you know when you look on top of your pinky where there are 2 joints not inculding the one attached to your hand. Then have the lines or squiglys on top of the area wher you can bend. Well the one closest to my pinky's nail pretty much broke a peice in it.

It holds like this l I l , the 2 "l" are the joints that the "I"or the pinky bone rests on in that one point, since I broke my right finger's pinky, the one on the left is the broekn joint. So my pinky instead of being straight curves in more

Normal pinky = straight ( or l )

Mine is bending into the left more since the joint is broken with no support.

The doc had to get a splint and tape my right pinky with the finger next to it so it would not cause arthritis (when your joints cause friction with other joints and start to get sore, therfor causing pain every time you move that joint).

Nect thursday they ar putting me to sleep and numbing my right hand from the wrist down. Then while i m sleeping, they will fix it with needles and stuff. The doc said i will be in alot of pain when I wake up so he is prescribing pain killers. The only good thing that comes out of it is I miss friday and monday of school.




Also ironically, around this same period of time, I got a major ear infection last year. It hurt like a mother. Basically it was not normal because somthing was eating at my ear the doc said. Basically it felt like somone was poking my ear drum with a needle and I would pretty much hold my head an crouch down like i was going insane. It lasted 4 days and I almost wanted to kill myself , the doc even warned that might happen since it would spring up on me at random. I wonder what pain i will suffer near the end of my junior and senior year of highschool



I'm sorry, but that cracked me up! I had to quote that! ha!

Man, I hope everything works out good for you dude. It sounds like it really sucks. Do you have trouble typing at all? What about any gaming? Does it hamper?

Anyhow, good luck dude!

Hey man good luck with that. I hope it gets better and you can game even better . My prayers be with you

Might I suggest making the "friend" that kicked the ball appreciate just how thankful you are for this whole ordeal?

Yeah I feel sorry uhhh... yeah sorry.



Have not seen him in a while, i wonder why

Also i can play games and typing is just a tad bit difficult.
