So I have a ligament in my wrist I tore six weeks ago. I found out 4 weeks ago, and have been wearing this super fashionable brace while I'm at work. I'd prefer to not wear the brace, and take lots of painkillers, and let it heal slow and have no one know, but I *NEED* it healed by October.
So I was supposed to not be playing volleyball, right? But when I told the doctor I was going to play anyways, he told me it should be ok as its a soft tissue injury, but just would take longer to heal. He also said I should wear the brace doing volleyball and working out doing any weight training, which I disregarded.
I went to volleyball last night. I'm super awesome at volleyball and have no vertical leap, so I managed to "tip" a ball with two of my fingers. Whatever, I do stupid shit all the time. Everything still was functioning. But when my ibuprofen wore off afterwards, I was like "oh AWESOME stephanie, you did a good job with that finger there."
But I mean it still bends, so it's not broken. It's just really painful in the joint to bend it forward or make a fist and put weight/pressure on it.
Which is AWESOME. See, my wrist requires modifying pushups/dips/etc into a fist, because my wrist gives out under pressure. But now I can't do pushups/dips/handstands on fists either.
Fuuuuuuck.
If anyone sees me at volleyball, please tell me I am an endangerment to myself, and drag me off the sandcourt. Thanks!!
