What I do

This is what I do for a living. Advocacy for the American Cancer Society. Check out that sweet scar from my surgery. And the hand splint is the new summer fashion!

Broken Hand

So, I broke my hand 10 days ago making a diving catch in one of my softball games. This Monday I had surgery on my left hand. My doctor put my third metacarpal back together with a titanium plate. I've been home all week recovering. I underestimated the recovery time. I had hoped to be back at work by Wednesday but ended up taking the whole week off. My hand is swollen and still in pain. I expect to using it more frequently next week.

My doctor said I may be able to play softball as early as three weeks from now. Not sure if that will happen but I'm glad I will be able to play again this year. I may have to hit left-handed when I return but I'm going to work at it. I like the challenge. After two weeks of doing nothing because of my hand, I need to get back into shape. I plan to play a lot more tennis.
