My (possibly broken) Scaphoid Bone

Tags: Rant

If you never heard of the Scaphoid bone, well neither did I until yesterday, but the on my left wrist might be broken. This all started back on Super Bowl Sunday when I took my daughter ice skating, and took a little spill. Last week I had made an appointment to get the hand x-rayed, but the Dr. cancelled, and it was feeling better so I never rescheduled. The hand though continued to have pain, even when not being used, so yesterday I had it x-rayed. The x-ray does not show a break, but apparently x-rays can not conclusively see a break in the Scaphoid bone, so next up is an MRI on Thursday evening. For now the hand is in a splint and in a fair amount of pain, not to mention slowing down my typing quite a bit. I don't know, going skating seemed like a good idea at the time, and Molly seemed to enjoy it, she even asked to go again this Sunday, but I am not sure how fast that is going to happen.

9 - Ice skating is definitely a safer activity for little girls than for their dads!!! Best of luck with the healing process. Try horseback riding next time :)
