Waterpolo Injury

Ouch...Jared slammed his thumb into a teammates head (1 tough head, because it's not broken) and caused a fracture in his 1st knuckle right at the joint ( that's not the best place to break your bone) & this is on his RIGHT hand. He asks for a little side note here: he DID make the goal he was shooting when the accident occurred! So, off to the orthopedist we go...and now it's 2 1/2 to 3 months without his favorite sport. Believe me, he wasn't looking so smile-y when Dr. Majors said THAT to him. Now he's sporting a much bigger splint to keep the bone from shifting....but his attitude is so good, I'm hopeful that his healing will progress faster than predicted.
