I got my finger pins removed from My Shattered Finger today; three more weeks until another X-ray to make sure it’s fully healed. Found at YouTube from davideerickson.

The latest in my chronicle of My Shattered Finger, because I’ve had so many requests for actual pictures of the pinkie. I did you one better: Video! As you can see, it’s not unstitched yet but it will be shortly after this clip was taken. Looks like it’ll be another month before it heals. Found at YouTube from davideerickson.

My shattered finger needed to be fixed with pins. It’s one-handed typing for me for a while and, worst of all, no football! icon sad Post Op: My Shattered Finger, Pinned A great deal of suckitude on the horizon for The Davester.

An x-ray of my broken pinkie. It is a compound fracture coupled with a dislocation.

Broke it playing football. The ball hit the tip of my pinkie straight on. It hurt. And it sucks.
