Dislocated Thumb

Jesse · Posted: Mar 15, 2007 7:25 am Post subject: Dislocated Thumb

Rode yesterday, hittin an incline I made over a land gap thats an old beach I had before the water level rose a long time ago, I came off the rail out the front and the board was behind me and hit me in the thumb. Sad

It sucks, its my right hand and Im right handed. I cant play guitar and that hurts me worse than the pain itself. Anyone had a similar experience that could offer me some advice about healing it?

I'm already doin the left hand thing. Using a mouse left handed is crazy, and last scoopin spaghetti suase with it was like my first time in my life. And I got a little regiment of 20 minutes Ice and 20 minutes heating pad.

The pain was too gnarly and I gave in and went to the ER (wheres the hot chicks like the show?), found out I broke it in two places.

Jesse, sorry to hear that man heal up quick. When i went to the ER for the gash in my arm from ditchskating i had footage documenting my accident. Needless to say i showed one doctor and before i knew it they were comin down every hallway to see the footage. Needless to say there were no hot chicks like the ER in my case either. I say that myth is busted.

Dude i just got out of the hospital. Salt Lake has so many hot chicks at the hospital it is out of control. I am from vegas, no hot chicks in the hospital, colorado same thing, even provo utah no hot chicks, but salt lake man was the freaking mecca of hot nurses. I say take up a new hobby that doesn't involve the right hand, that is what i do when i get broke off. My new hobby is posting on wakeskating.com cuz i can't do anything cuz i fractured my skull in 3 places this week. NO brain damage though!!!! I recomend hacky sack
