Progress continues
I had my 2 week post op check up from the 2nd surgery today and the finger looks good. I'm in a cast for 12 more days then the PT starts up again to get some range of motion back. The doctor was really stressing how hard its gonna be to get it back to normal after 3 back to back traumas, so its gonna take quite a while. I had the cast off today for about an hour at the doctor office and I've got basically NO movement in it at all! Been running and riding my trainer a lot to keep the fitness up so when I can actually ride again there won't be too many excuses, just RIDE.

Ouch
Well my summer is officially over with for now. My finger has twisted in the screws and I'm heading back under the knife Monday morning to get the screws pulled out and some plates and more screws put in. I think this should have been done in the first place. So now I'm 7 weeks into this broken pinkie ordeal, and am looking at at LEAST another 7 weeks after Monday to get back to somewhat normal. The big problem now is that my finger has been through so much trauma that it might take much longer to heal that normal. Now all the physical therapy that I've been through is down the drain and we're back to ground level again, for the 3rd time! The tendons aren't gonna be happy either, as they will need to be split yet again, for this surgery. See ya around mid August, hopefully.
Maybe one day my blog will actually be about racing, like it was intended to be, but until then, shred it out there and don't ever break a finger!
