thanks...I had a badly broken finger on the same hand last year that required surgery and a broken hand from a few weeks ago...I saw the same orthopedics guy and begged him to not put a cast...he put me on my honor to wear this fiberglass and cotton half cast thingy that went around the outside of my hand and wrapped on with an ace bandage only to be removed for showering. Not itchy this time, but it feels so liberating to not have that damn thing on!
Sweet! Good luck with that rehab (that is drinking double fisted of course)

Yep, broken hands suck.
damn girlie, I thought I was the only one dumb enough to break my hand twice in a row
. i basically did the same thing. surgery and then eight months later another broken hand. cast both times 
. dishes and cooking were the thing that pissed me off most about the cast....well they're pretty lame anyways but almost impossible with one hand. i made sure I could fit a pbr can in my cast so that drinkin wasn't a problem

Metacarple 4 & 5
wow. you've broken a lot of finger bones! my metecarpals were spared, but i shattered my scaphoid, my radius, tore out most of the ligaments in my wrist, and displaced my lunate, triquetral, pisiform, and capitate. i've got more hardware in there now than home depot.
I've been doing alot of hand therapy lately, even though i have a broken leg.

Lucky you, i just saw a docter today and he said probibly 2-4 weeks more before the cast can come off for good, after a month of being on crutches already i must say this is starting to get old... Although i will say 3 days at Whistler was definitly worth it
