Boka's Journal - Gearing up for DESTRUCTION!

[icehawk]

Sorry to here about the finger dude... You have the worst luck when it comes to injuries! I hope it won't stop you completely in the gym, though. I had a cast on for 2 months and still hit the weights... I was only really limited in exercise selection (just machines). Have you seen the doctor yet?

Thnx for the concern Icehawk. But don't worry, little things like this have never gotten me down, in fact I'm even more eager to hit the gym now. Plus its just the finger tip once the swelling and the bruising go down I'll be able to do what I do.

I have not seen my doc but I went to a walk in near my work as well as seen my athletic therapist and both agree it is most likely a fracture and not a full brake. I'll go to my doc sometime next week and get some x-rays done if needed.

Once the swelling goes down I'll put the finger splint on and go back to training.. So I give it till Monday. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

So today was a another unproductive day... Not training at the moment due to my finger, which sucks but looking forward to next week. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Again another day off training, waiting for the finger to heal.

On the bright side, the swelling in the finger has gone down a lot and I can more it almost perfectly.. Still hurts, is discoloured and is bruised but it should be cleared up by Christmas time.

Here are some pics of my finger, it's either as brake or a fracture after the last knuckle on my left ring finger.

Well here is the update on the finger a week after the injury.

Things are looking good, the discolouring is almost gone, the finger nail has not fallen off nor is it coming off, it is just discoloured. The swelling is almost unnoticeable, but there is still some pain, mostly from the bruise and the nail itself.

Well here are a couple of pics that show the state of the finger today. Enjoy. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

It's looking a lot better!

Thanks Icehawk it's starting to feel a lot better as well. It is still fractured but the swelling is gone and as long as I don't bang it into anything I don't even notice it anymore.

Okay yesterday was a first day of working out sense the finger thing happened.

DATE: Dec 27th 2007

I just did come light cardio and a light Muay Thai training session.

<font color="green">CARDIO</font>

ROWING MACHINE
DISTANCE: 1,000meters
TIME: 3:41sec

2min brake

TREADMILL
DISTANCE: 1.0 mile
TIME: 7:29sec

<font color="brown">MUAY THAI</font>

Just some light bag work, the instructor is out of the country so a couple of us got together and did some bag work.

I felt like crap the whole day, the holiday treats and junk food really have destroyed my energy levels.I've been feeling very sleepy and lethargic lately, something that hasn't happened to me in a very long time.
