Thumbs Up

As most of you already know, I fell while Mt. biking a week and a half ago and seriously hurt my hand. The good news is that yesterday was the first day since the fall that my hand didn't hurt all of the time. The better news is that today, the Dr. decided that my hand was fine and that I no longer have to wear the cast anymore and can use my hand fully. No breaks, no ligament damage. My hand still hurts, but only when I move my thumb sideways or press on my palm. I plan on picking up a pair of gloves (I really do not like riding with gloves, unless it's cold. I find them to be very uncomfortable.) this week and doing a short test ride to see how my hand feels, and I'm going to go from there. If I can ride without pain I'm going to start riding again. If not, I'll give it another week and try again.
