I regret to inform you...
That my presence will be absent for a little while on here. I broke my right hand yesterday playing bball pretty badly. The E.R. doc called it a "boxers fracture". I go see the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow to see if i'm going to need surgery. E.R doc didn't sound very optimistic but keep me in your prayers please, i don't have any insurance so theres no way i can afford surgery. Out of my 5 previous broken bones, i've never had them hurt as bad as this one does. I'm taking 2 vicodin every 4-6 hours and they ain't doing much. Hunting season is probably out seeing as it takes 6-8 weeks to heal

I had one of those. punched the side of a barn. They were suppose to put my hand in a cast but i didn't need one if i didn't want one. Long story short, after a few weeks, my hand was good as new. didn't know you needed surgey. well good luck and hope everything will be ok.

Ive done that before. it took me about 2 weeks and i was back running up and down the mountans hunting and ridin 4wheelers again. I wish i had pics of it. Mine was bad but easily straightend back out and is still kinda crooked but unless you look you cant tell. Soak your hand in ice water to help numb it. Youll be surprised on how much it helps. Just dont leave it to long.
