Update
Erin and I went in early this morning as I had to sign in at 8:30 at the hospital. I then went down to the hand clinic where the doctor removed the splint and after checking my hand said that I had sprained/partially torn my UCL(Ulnar Collateral Ligament). He said the good news is that I wouldn't need surgery but would need a spica splint to wear for six weeks. So, it was kind of disappointing news as I was hoping it was just tender from getting hit and would heal soon. Now, I am kind of useless here for six weeks...blah. I'm not really supposed to use my left hand at all. I asked the O.T. hopeful that I could maybe start doing some work but I'm supposed to rest it and give it time to heal. Seems we are especially busy this time year so I guess I'll just have to try and work my right hand double time when my shoulder starts feeling better. At least it happened to my left hand.
So, no music practice(just bought a guitar book and started teaching myself the guitar two days before this all happened), sewing, cell grazing, most garden work, etc. I was planning on getting some sewing and stuff done before I go on my trip but the splint will only be coming off the week before. Eek! Oh well, I'll just do what I can.
