The Finger

Comet Camp last Friday thru yesterday. Was ambitious & played basketball. Was clumsy & jammed finger. Taped it straight. Hurt like junk through Saturday. Never had a jam hurt for more than an hour. [Typing one-handed] Can't bend or straighten finger (left ring-finger). Joint is swolen & bluish purple...preeeeetty. Went to Health Center this morning. She said she can order x-ray in Garland or I can find another doc. Parentals are finding doctors. Huge splint...not like little blue ones from Wal-Mart...this one encompasses my entire hand. Julie says at least this way it looks like I have a traumatic story to tell. Indeed!
