Fractured

As I type with only 9 fingers I soon realize that lately things have been majorly sucking. Lets run down the list of softball injuries in the last 5 years shall we?

1. Shin splints in not one but BOTH legs for about the first 1 1/2 - 2 years of my return to softball.
2. Tendonitis in my wrists starting the beggining of this year stemming from my softball AND coaching Jordyn's softball teams
3. Tendonitis in my elbow stemming from #2

and now.....

4. A fractured right thumb from Tuesday nights game. I definitely was not on my game that night at first base and my short stop threw me a fast one and as I prepared to catch it and cover the catch with my right hand, it hits my right thumb bending it completely back at the joint.

Ahhhhh life is goooooood aint it? *sarcastic smile*

I really thought it was broken because it immediately swelled up like a fat vienna sausage or kielbasa if you will and turned a deep almost Barney purple. Nothin like a woman with chubby thumbs to get you in the mood huh? Got x-rayed yesterday and its fractured, in severe pain and today I go to see the orthopedic surgeon to probably get splinted. So I guess that means no softball for a few weeks....pffft, we'll see.

I hate this man!!! I NEED to play but then again maybe its a sign to take a small break and exercise my other appendages. So Ive managed to make it out to Wilson Park to go walk, walk these thunder thighs off so when I come back I'll be good to go. Week 1 and already 4 miles down...sweeeeet! Im on a roll!!

Pray for my thumb that it isnt permanently disfigured and I dont look like Popeye k?

Oh and since my blackberry isnt all hi-tech the picture below doesnt really do it justice.  Wait till you see this puppy in high def real life...its HUGE!

Not as purple as yesterday but it still aint cute!

Love yous!
