fairfarmhand Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 two weeks ago, one of our mares ran off. I retrieved her and grabbed her by what was left of her bridle. a leather strap around her neck. She jerked her head and my finger was entangled in the leather. It hurt for a few days, but then the swelling went down. It's still tender, and not fully functional, so I went and had it xrayed. Spiral fracture. This is the second time I've amazed my doctor by putting off medical care. The first was when I had strep for 8 days before coming in, Anyway, going to see an orthopedist soon, Hoping there's no surgery in my future. This is a really bad time of year for a farmer to have a broken finger. Totally messes up my typing too. Writing's going to be annoying for awhile. So frustrating. It's my left hand and I'm a lefty.

Critterfixer Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I was going to ask you what you had to go and do that for, but OUCH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2bee Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Yikes! I'm sorry to hear that, hopefully you wont need surgery. A classmate who plays for the school baseball team broke his finger this semester and he was able to manage without surgery so I hope that you can too!
