Smashing a Finger!

What do you get when you do double cleans with a 32kg and 28kg and your finger gets in the way? Three stitches and broken pinky.

Sunday morning while training at KBLA with Dr Mark Cheng I smashed my pinky between the handles on my first rep of three. I finished my set walked over to Doc to ask him for a first aid kit. Once I got the finger fixed I hung out until class end. Later that morning I went to urgent care to have my finger examined. I was thinking I only need few stitches, but the doctor wanted an x-ray. I was surprised when the doctor told me finger was broken!

One thing I needed to add: it was nobody's fault but mine!

Dr Mark Cheng has prescribed 100 swings twice a day for the few weeks.


I'll start tomorrow.
