Latest news from Alex. Oh dear…
My extreme lifestyle now consists of one handed typing, online shopping and televised cricket. It’s hardly Johnny Knoxville territory
Apparently I have:
- snapped the ligament that hold my middle section of the finger to the first section.
- got a double avulsion (sp?) fracture of the finger where the other ligament came away from the knuckle and yanked a slither of bone away.
- destroyed my volar plate (I’ve no idea what this is, but apparently it’s not a good thing to have destroyed and is the thing that the Ortho Consultant was most perturbed by).
Having had a week of unstrapped (but very sore) freedom, my hand has been put back into a splint and will remain so for at least 4-6 weeks and then the proper rehab can begin. The sexy nursey type told me that 3 months of rehab should see my hand return to full strength. And then it’s December, and only Steve G cycles in December
On the plus side, my hip isn’t fractured, which is a bonus.
Gutted for him.
