2 weeks ago, I had what I thought was a relatively minor fall off my bicycle, that dislocated a finger, swoll my hand up like crazy, and left lots of scrapes and brusies to heal. No big deal I thought. The ER doctor figured 2 weeks to heal and I'd be good to go.
Today, during a recovery period examination, the orthopedic surgeon became concerned and had more x-rays done, as the swelling was still very bad and I am getting a lot of pain when trying to sue the hand.
Turns out, I've been walking around for 2 weeks with a fracture that was misssed during the viewing of the first x-rays, and has become more prominent now (the bone moved during the 2 weeks). Now, its hand surgery first thing Monday morning, and no shooting, biking, or reloading for SIX WEEKS!
The surgeon said not to try to do stuff, as that risks hurting the fracture again, where he will pin it in its proper place Monday.
I am totally bummed.
Can a person survive for 6 weeks without shooting OR reloading???
