It's kind of hard to bench press with a splint on your finger, so C2 will start tomorrow with Cardio. Hopefully, I can take the splint off and lift on Thursday.
I'm betting you're wondering why I have a splint on my finger. On Labor Day, about 9am, I was washing dishes. I was trying to be real thorough and attack the rust on one of our kitchen knives. The knife didn't appreciate this and attacked back. The cut was so bad, it was still bleeding a bit this morning when I woke up. I went to a Walgreen's Take Care Clinic, which on this page, says it treats "Minor Cut Closure with Skin Adhesive." I didn't click through and read the fine print, "Skin adhesive is not used to treat minor cuts or wounds of the face, scalp, genitalia, joints, hands, or feet." The nurse wisely recommended that I call my doctor instead of waiting around in an ER.
I was able to get an appointment with my doctor within the hour. He took a look at it, cleaned it up, put some butterfly bandages on it, and told me to keep in immobilized. Pending gangrene developing in the next few days, I should be able to save the hand. The best part, he gave me some finger condoms to keep my bandages dry.
Of course, they're too small for my finger, and broke when I tried to put them on.
