Thanks, dude.
Doc said 8-10 weeks in a hard cast for a scaphoid fracture and associated ligament damage. I told him that wasn't gonna work for me... I raced motorcycles and my throttle hand had to be in shape by the spring.
He said, "Oh, in that case, here's a removable splint and a referral to a physical therapist. You can start next week, and they'll get you back in shape in no time at all."
Just goes to show you that 90% of medicine is doctors covering their ass, and if you ask the right way, you can always get accelerated treatment
Here's what it looked like when the splint came off. Gross :/
I blame the blueprint for giving me too many strengths - without you guys I could have never punched my own arm off. In better news, it turns out that the other dude has a couple broken ribs he gets to nurse.
