Broken Thumb

[Caroline]

Well I was out for a hilly spin on Saturday and it was grand. A bit painful on the descent due to uneven irish roads ... but iverrall I did great out on the flat with the fixie this week though, will take it easy.

well your thumb does have to be curved around the bars or the hood to anchor your hand for braking. And climbing. And just generally holding on when the road is rough.

I know it s*cks but I just wouldn't ride. Once that bone is healed, it's healed, and if it heals up with a deformity that you can't live with, they'd have to re-break it to correct it.

I guess it just depends on how much you do with your thumbs (computer keyboarding, doesn't matter so much, especially the left thumb; but if you play certain musical instruments it's probably important that it heal straight) and how much it would bother you cosmetically to have a crooked thumb.

Sad your thumb got broke
Glad you turned your spokes


OK... will stop trying to rhyme now
Just wanted to say its great you got out and on the bike again - so important to jump back in the saddle
So pleased the ride was so successful and not too uncomfy


Sending you healing thoughts from Aoteroa
