So having spent most of the day yesterday sitting around the house and being bored I decided to take the pups out to the park around 6 and play with the rocks some more. Started sorting a different pile and everything was going along peachy when I got a bit enthusiastic and set to moving a boulder near the upper limit of what I could do. Limestone boulders, unlike granite or other rocks that usually make boulders, have a lot of edges. So rolling one is usually a matter of thumping heaves from one face to another. I was heaving on the aforementioned rock and had rolled it at least one full revolution and nearly had it to where I wanted it. I got it up off the ground and onto an edge and repositioned my left hand further down to get a grip and complete the roll when it started to rock back. Not wanting to risk my toes (did I mention I was wearing tevas? failed that stupidity roll), or more honestly not wanting to lose the effort I'd put into moving it, I pushed back but my hand wasn't in a good position and I hyperextended my left forefinger. Thinking to myself "oh, thant's going to hurt later" I rolled my hand into a fist and pushed (resulting in a disturbingly loud crunch from my knuckle) through the movement. Didn't hurt too much so I figured I probably didn't break it. Spent another half hour sorting and finally went home and iced it up real good.
Got up this morning and it is not particulary swollen, I can move it through most of my range of movement though it is a little stiff and sore. Kinda interfered in my typing and I would want to have to depend on that hand to grab a rail if I slipped in a stairwell but that's about it.
