Everyone on the boat kinda freaked out. Someone had a car at the beach so he volunteered to take me to the ER. So I called my Mom and told her that I was headed to the hospital. Surprisingly enough, I made it there alive....the guy driving had a nice car and apparently thought it was a good excuse to speed since it was an "emergency". The ER told me it was broken. The Dr told me he could try to set it, but it was going to hurt and he didn't think that it was going to stay in place and I needed to follow up with a specialist. 
Well, I went to Dr. Young and he told me that I could leave it or I could have surgery and have two screws put it in. If I left it the way it was, he had no guarantee that I would have full mobility, plus it was kinda crooked. Not to mention...that might be an important finger one day ;) So I decided that I didn't want to end up like Jord, and have a handicapped finger. So the night before our vacation.......I had two screws up in my finger. So I was on pain meds for our vacation, and I didn't see any of the drive because it made me sick so I slept. And I don't remember a lot of the trip and what happened. So I probably should have let someone else blog about the Yellowstone pictures.. hahah
I had two screws along with two stitches. The screws will always be in my finger. The black line on my finger is what the surgeon drew on my hand to indigate the angle where the screws should be placed.So I had surgery Thursday around 3. Was out around 5, and got up the next morning at 7 to leave for Blackfoot, Idaho. And I'm happy to announce that I now have full mobility in my finger and it's straight!! :)
