Shattered thumb

Our family went to White Wash down by Green River over Memorial Day. A bunch of us were out riding on the slick rock and I stalled it in a bad spot and ended up going over the drop to my left. Only thing that broke was a shattered thumb, (not to mention the bent handle bars and subframe that bent when it fell on me). I feel very lucky not to be hurt worse.
This was right after surgery. There is a plate, 5 screws and some wire in that small bone.


You can see the wire better in this one. Got the stitches out a few days ago. In a splint for a few weeks and then I start physical therapy. Yikes.

Dang girl!! That looks so painful! I'm SO glad that is the only thing that really got injured (not saying I'm glad you got injured...)! Love ya! Glad you're okay! :)
