Haven't tried running for the last couple of months because of a flare up in my old right hamstring injury (from circa 1998).
Ultrasound this morning confirmed that there is a tear in one of the tendons. Approx 9mm long and 6mm wide.
Next stop PRP therapy in just over a week.
am: Long one out to Guildford and then up West Swan Rd to the Mallard duck. Added the turn around loop through the back roads. Bloody hot from early on. Had a long drink stop at the Caravan Park. Stuffed afterwards.
am: Along the railway line to West leederville, then through Northbridge to the Windan Bridge, and then the usual route along the river to Guildford and Caversham. Back the same way.
pm: Pump class at Lords. Finger bit uncomfortable on back and hamstring track, otherwise not too bad.
CXWorx30:00 [2]
pm: CXWorx was OK. Finger not too happy on anything using the band. Just have to put up with it for now.
Note
Dressing off the finger this afternoon. Not allowed to get it wet = no swimming :( Will need some therapy after the K-wire comes out. Unfortunately that won't be until the beginning of Feb because the surgeon is going on holidays straight after Xmas. Too soon to take it out before the new year.
Now have a small cast on the finger.
Hand and wrist surgeon took one look at the X-ray and said "That's a surgery job", as of course he would. Apparently without intervention it would never heal.
X-ray on my left little finger. Has been sore and swollen since last Wednesday.
Found out that it is fractured. Not just a little crack, but thoroughly broken.
am: Long ride out to Guildford and up the Swan Valley as far as the Mallard Duck. Detoured through the back streets of the Swan Valley on the way home.
