hand update


well, i just got back from seeing the doctor about my hand injury. it has almost been 1 month exactly since i fell and hurt it while liz and i were running in italy. this was a follow-up visit. x-rays were taken on my first visit, and thankfully it's not broken and nothing is dislocated. the doctor said it's probably a bad sprain or a bruised bone. it has improved so much, though. every day it feels better. he was a little concerned that it had been a bout a month and was still hurting. if, by the middle of august, it is still sore he wants me to come back in for another x-ray.

i can play the piano just fine, but it is a little frustrating that i am unable to lift weights. i asked the doctor about push-ups and he suggested doing them on my fists. so, i just tried regular push-ups a minute ago which are still painful, and then on my fists which alleviate some of the pressure, but not all of it. sheesh, i was doing so well staying in shape. oh well, gotta think of some other ways until this hand completely heals.
