Last night, I got hit in practice REALLY hard, during a sprint set. The woman who hit me said she was sure she hit the lane line because it was such a smack. Fun!
Anyway, after much swelling, ice, and pain, it turns out I have a Volar Plate Avulsion fracture of my right ring finger. (Fun when you are both right-handed AND drive a stick shift.)
The doc. said 6 weeks no swimming, but clearly, that's too long for me. I start IT next week.
Anyone dealt with this? Did you go to practice and just kick? How long out of the water?
Who thought swimming was a contact sport?!?!

I broke/fractured my right pinky finger several years ago when I messed up catching a football. I iced the heck out of it for a day. I thought it was just badly jammed so I didn't see a doctor right away. Several weeks later and it hadn't healed properly. By the time I saw a doctor there was just a hairline fracture on the xray, but there wasn't anything to do. It's still a little crooked to this day, but I don't have any pain and it doesn't affect how I swim. I skipped only a day or two of practice, but wish I had seen the doc sooner.
