So how many people do you know who can break a finger while running in place?
I am such a dork!
Monday I was working out at the Y doing the 30 minute cafe (similar to Curves). The stations are very close together. It has a machine and then a running mat and then another machine all around in a circle. The idea is to go around 3 times for a 30 minute workout. Anyway, on many occasions I have hit my hand on a machine beside where I am running. But on Monday, I was carrying weights. And the tip of my little finger hit the machine next to me and got caught between the machine and the weight. It HURT! WOW! It bruised up immediately.
So this is self diagnosed, but I think my finger is broken. It is at the tip of my finger so it wouldn't need to be reset. I put a splint on it. I just don't want to spend the $$$ to get it x-rayed when all they would do is put a splint on it.
Today I was looking up how long I should wear my splint on the Internet. And I came to a site that said that all finger injuries should be checked out by a doctor. It said, "Yes, there's probably some macho guy in your neighborhood who says to tape the finger up and it'll be fine, because that's what he did. He's an idiot."
hmmmmm....I must be the macho guy who is an idiot. But at least I used medical supplies and not duct tape.
Looking Forward

You sure you're not making this up? LOL
I can understand your doing this. Can't understand why they called the macho guy an idiot. But did you check further to see what the worst case scenario is? Like maybe a splinter off a bone could cause you some real trouble some day?
I imagine it is not the same finger you broke before. Hope the pain isn't bad and that you can go about your business. Your daily 'routine' is not so easy even without a handicap. Love you.
