Thank you for your comments. When I got home after my ride, (I still rode the 15 miles that I wanted.) I pulled out my anatomy textbook to look under upper extrmities to find the hand section. My concern was the fracture too.

I thought I would wait a day to see how my hand was behaving and then make an evaluation from there. My previous description of my hand turning black and blue might have been exagerated. It still is darker than my other hand but not to the extreme I was writing last night, or for that matter, thinking in my head. I will heal.

I just have not been this banged up in a while. I remember coming home from the gym as a kid and having to sit on ice bags and places on my body turning black and blue all of the time. I guess age makes a difference. We notice it more and it can have more severe consequenses to if we are not careful.

Thank you,
