Broken Finger
Its 3 weeks now almost to this incident but did i tell you i broke my finger while i was exercising in the gym. I clearly remember me doing bench press with dumbbells. As i went down to finish my last rep, i did not realize i had some other weights lying below the bench. My hand came down very swiftly and thats when my ring finger got smashed between 2 dumbbells. I cried in pain. When i saw my finger, it was upright and could not be straightened. I was immediately escorted to the hospital in emergency ward. I was there for 4 hrs and till then only my x-ray had been done but not examined. I was frustrated and came back home. As this hospital is university affiliated, i got the results next morning when i went to the local health center in campus. The results were faxed and confirmed a hair-line fracture. It hurt initially but now am used to wearing a support around the wounded finger. sometimes even forget to wear it. Since then, life hasn't changed at all. I have got used to the pain and still go to the gym for cardio and bench press !!!
