SNAP!
Back in November while doing some intense Christmas shopping, my girlfriend Heather experienced a freak accident.The impact of this collision caused the bone in the end digit of her left hand to literally snap. If you look closer, you can notice that the end of her thumb is bulging quite a bit towards her index finger. This is caused by the broken bone which had shifted itself into a 45-degree angle.
IS THAT COOL OR WHAT!
This is an xray of a good hand. However, to give us broader perspective of this, if you look closely at #4 on this picture, you are looking at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb (thanks Google.com). Just above this joint is the end digit of Heather's thumb, which snapped in half.
She was terrified that she may have to face surgery for it. I thought it would be cool to have screws put into it and then I could brag to everyone that my girlfriend has a robo-thumb.
After weeks of keeping it in a splint, meeting with a specialist hand-doctor, and having to shower with a plastic bag over her hand, Heather's thumb has recovered extremely well without having to go into surgery.
You can tell by her smile.
OH MY GOD HER THUMB FELL OFF! .... oooohhh wait, it's behind her middle finger.

"Is that cool or what?" you ask.
No. It actually sounds very painful.
But I'm glad that Heather has recovered and won't need surgery.
you can tell her so, on the off hand chance she remembers me from the one or two times we've met.
