I went out for what I thought was going to be a lesiurely ride to get some hill work in. I was on one of the local trails making a very sharp turn to the left and proceeded to fall down to the left. I tried to face impact like I was doing a push up because I was clipped in (it happens to us that have been clipless for a few years even!). Fortunatley I was wearing the specialized full finger mtb gloves. I think because of that, my hand will be ok. I can move all fingers and my wrist in all direstions.
The brunt of the fall was on my right hand. At least that is how my body is reacting about 4 hours later. My thumb down to my wrist by about an inch is starting to turn black and blue. I can tell that my hand is swollen too. I have since had it under an ice bag and I have an ibuprofen to help with the swelling.
I will work on the healing part. I think that is it for now.
