Thread: An unfortunate break from bowling

  1. #1

    Default An unfortunate break from bowling

    Well I have to stop bowling for a while after losing a fight with a table saw. I'll probably permanently lose a nail on my index finger which also has a bone broke in two places, but shouldn't lose any use of my fingers. Moral of the story? They put those safety guards on for a reason.

    Sounds like nothing seriously bad happened! At least you'll be able to bowl soon right??? How long do you expect you'll be out??

    You could always practice with your weaker hand.

    Good luck stroker! If anyone understands hand injuries it's me as I totally shattered mine and had to leave the game for two years before coming back with a backup ball throw now. I wish you a fast and full recovery

    Thanks guys, I go see a hand specialist tomorrow and will know more then. My middle finger has a chunk of flesh ripped out of the side but should heal up in time. That is what will preclude bowling for a while. Most of the damage is to my index finger so even worse case scenario if I do lose some range of motion it shouldn't affect my release too much. Who knows, my rotator cuff surgery eliminated a lifelong slice from my golf game, maybe this will help me pick up that $&@&$&!! Ten pin lol.

    Hopefully you haven't damaged too much. Heal quickly so you can get back this season. While you are healing, and just to stay near the game, offer to help coach the kids leagues in your house. That might keep your mind off of missing it while helping the kids.

    Good Luck.

    Bob
