This is ridiculous.
So I'm cleaning out the garage on Sat in preparation for a Baby Bazaar meverything must go sales event and what do I do?? I break my middle finger on my left hand..........:doh:
Hurts like a .....well....it hurts.
So I didn't swim over the weekend and I'm gonna try practice tomorrow. The swelling has gone down quite a bit so time to see what affects I can expect this weekend. It's taped up to the index finger right now but I'm pretty sure that ain't gonna be allowed in a meet.
But c'mon, 8 days before my first meet in 19 years and I break my finger?
God, if you're trying to tell me I shouldn't swim, well, that's just not going to work.

Paul,
You should be ok to tape them together. Just ask the officials on there take.
At the end of a 50 free when everything had already gone wrong in the whole :29 sec I some how managed to jam my thumb and then it hyperextended. I thought for sure it was broke. I was allowed to tape it to my hand to swim my next event. It was so swollen and hurt really bad. Finished my race then went to the ER.
good luck with it. Take lots of Advil and ice before you swim. It will help with the pain.
