You guys are are too kind, thanks so much for your compliments!

I was going strong for a while there and now I've got a little setback.

I was playing some Ultimate over the weekend and I dislocated my patella again. I've done it twice in the last three weeks.
That's not that big of a deal, carving doesn't involve the knee much and I can rehab my way out of it. Its just that when I popped my knee I fell to the ground and
put my right hand out. That's the hand I wield my mallet with. I came down on the thumb joint and sprained my thumb.

Crap.

Well, over a day the swelling is starting to go down and I've got it taped. Its amazing how much you need a thumb for. I am going to give it a go with the small mallet and try to grasp it with my fingers and palm and keep the thumb taped. At least I've got use of my left hand, the one I write with and carve detail with.

I don't know what it is with me and hands/fingers. :roll:
