Back In The Swing Of Things

This week marks the first week I'm back playing in all three I signed in April to compete, and MY KNEES ARE KILLING ME!

My doctor gave me clearance to play two weeks before, and so far my finger, which I broke in May, is holding up well. I still have my cast in case I want to bind it to keep it safe while I sleep. The wound dries during the day, so I must moisturize it and let it heal properly. It feels like a spine of a small book is inside my finger, but in a few months things should return to normal.

Bryce Harper also made a emphatic return to the Washington Nationals lineup after ending his stint on the disabled list with a broken thumb. His RBI single against the visiting Rockies opened the scoring midway through the night time contest which resulted in a 7-3 victory for the Nats.

A broken finger on either hand effects everything you do, therefore seek medical attention immediately should you experience discomfort, pain, or an obvious injury. The doctor said I was "fortunate" to only be away from the game for six weeks, when you consider the type of injury I had. I was quite close to losing my left index finger outright! o_O Yes, you heard me: AMPUTATION. O_O

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and support this past two months. It means a lot, plus I'm back to doing the things I like: Guitar, drums, keyboards, and...umm...oh yeah, video games...and baseball. Bending back my finger or bending the tip of my finger to press buttons are all but impossible, but I don't mind it. I'm just glad the worst parts are behind me. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor in August, so everything should be good as new by that time. ^_^

Question: Does Bryce Harper always take off his helmet when he's running around the bases?
