Bionic Me…

Why do I play rugby again?

I broke my hand (4th metacarpal) AGAIN! This time it was in the first game on Sunday at Pumpkinfest. I played 2 games last weekend at the West Tournament but it’s time for surgical repair.

After conferring with my doctor (John Pearce, MD) we decided that anatomically correting the hand was the way to go. I was already losing grip strength and functionatliy, so time to get it fixed. I should be all healed up for Round of 12 in Austin in 4 weeks. The pins in the x-ray you also see are the 1st metacarpal from another rugby injury 4 years ago.

I go under tomorrow (T-minus 5 hours) and will emerge with another 3 screws! So needless to say, blogging may be a bit short for the next few weeks. Maybe The Girl will post a guest blog or two?

  1. Sorry to hear. Nice rose cut break. My right hand is about the same. Pins, screws, a little bailing wire. Hopefully yours won’t look like mine-German SS interrogation techniques. (: Its nice when you get an x-ray and the tech goes “eewww you’ve got some hardware”
    Cheers
