Had the surgery yesterday. Doc said it went well but it's quite painful!
Good you had the doctor take care of this now. It'll heal--you are young. For the rest of your life you will be thankful.
I broke my fingers a number of times. Once while wrestling in high school. Broke the pinkie and ring finger on my left hand going for a takedown. Wrapped it up for a few days and continued to wrestle. However, it really hurt and was swollen so my mother forced me to the doctors office. He reset them, put them in a splint and they healed right. Coach hated it. Thought I was a sissy because I missed the remainder of the season, but now I am glad I had the doctor fix it.
I also broke my index finger - right hand (I am a righty) I think playing football. Never had it fixed. Played thru it. Now, 40 years later, my finger is still bent in a weird direction. I wish I had had it fixed way back then.
So bear the pain; have a drink or 2 and watch the Mets(uh-h).
The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.
