The bad, there was far more damage than the initial estimate. I broke two fingers, one of which may have to be shortened. I have multiple splits in one thumb joint, so it needs to be immobilized and pinned. I go in on Thursday for surgery to deal with my finger and thumb. I also fractured two metacarpals in my wrist, but they should heal on their own while my hand is immobilized.
Two to three months of playing 'pit boy' shouldn't be too bad, and I can resell my prescriptions to finance my own private track day! (Of all the problems my hand injuries are causing, its the pain killers I dread the most.) |
That sucks, dude. Heal quickly, and please keep coming to the track. Didn't get to meet you this time around.
