well i dont know if anyone read my rant a few days ago about how bad my thumb hurt but long story short a week and a half ago i was playing basketball, blocked a pass and hurt my thumb. put a splint on it and dealt with the pain thinking it was just sprained. bitched and moaned for a week or so about how bad it hurt and i found that my right thumb might be the most important thing we as humans have.

today i finally gave in and went to have a real doctor look at it, waited for about an hour in 4 different rooms on campus in our new health center(which is very badass now that i got a pretty big tour) got it x-rayed a couple of times and turns out it the tip of my thumb was broken. they gave me some pain killers and sent me on my way. now i godda go see an orthopedic doctor to have him look at it to see if it needs to be set or whats the deal with it.

i got picks below of the x-rays. you can see if where they drew the arrows right above the knuckle. i knew something was wrong when it was bending there on my finger.. heh.

hurting your back does suck, i remeber i was stuck in bed for 3 days after pullin mine. but this thumb is a whole new shittyness. imagine everything you do hurts now all of a sudden. the thumb helps so much... damnit...

i wish i was in a cast.. then i'd look legit. ive got a splint on my finger that lets me try to do about 80% of the shit i normaly can.. but i cant because it hurts so much.
