One day back in late April, Anders wanted to go to the skate park with his bike. I took my bike, too. I stupidly boofed a landing and came down very hard on the asphalt. I dislocated my right middle finger (!), and fractured the third metacarpal bone just behind it. (And no, I didn't land on my hands, but on my shoulder/side/head. I'm still not sure what hit my finger.) Two emergency-room visits followed, plus weeks in a nasty cast during a heat wave, hand therapy, finger splints, etc., etc. Obviously not much riding has happened this summer.
Today I had a follow-up visit at the hand clinic, and the doctor said that I was healing really well, and that I could probably ride again if I wear a wrist brace. So if the summer weather would kindly break, it could be a nice time to get back to riding.
