Well, I had a stupid crash on Saturday. I made a very slow U turn in gusty (35 MPH) winds. I blew over. My thumb hyperextended on the brake hood. I am having an avulsion fracture pinned on Thursday afternoon.(the thumb ligament popped off, pulling it's little piece of bone it is anchored to with it) Does anyone know approximately how bad I'll feel 24 hours later? I'm pretty tough(I rode 76 miles and 7000 ft of climbing with this injury) but it really wasn't so sore until I tried to go to sleep that night.My parents had planned to visit Friday and Sat night from the Bay Area, I just don't know how perky I'll feel. My first orthopedic injury since I broke my pinky finger in a water ballon fight at age 12! thanks for any input! Tokie
