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 jammed my middle finger pretty good (my knuckle swelled) on my finish of the 100 back at Nationals in May....bugged me for weeks. Then I dislocated (I didn't go to doc, but I'm fairly certain) my thumb adjusting my tech jammer (tight!) of all things. It is STILL bugging my 6 months later. Sucks to get old as I have a lot of little nagging things bugging me.....but lucky I've never had a major injury. ICE and Advil are always good to me.
