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.

That sucks, Paul. See what the doc says. I've swum with broken fingers, jammed swollen fingers, broken blood vessels in the foot and all that crap. Tape is allowed. Muppet has swum meets with a cast on. I know folks buddy taping broken toes. If it's not too painful, I wouldn't let that stop you. :woot: Besides, masters are rarely, if ever, 100%. Something always comes up: sick, injured, training interrupted, food poisoning, etc. I know the timing stinks, but don't give up yet. And remember this is just a practice meet. See how you feel after some ice and advil. Although you might not want to slam the left hand into the wall too hard at the finish. Hang in there!
