May have broken my fucking hand. Off to "urgent care." Bringing a book. This is not how I wanted to spend my afternoon.

ETA: How - drill bit caught in wood and locked, drill spun before I could let go, and something went "pop" in the metacarpal region of the pinkie/ring finger side of my hand. Minimal swelling, more or less full ROM, but it hurts, and I can feel something shift around when I open/close/squeeze.

Hoping it's a splint fix, not a cast. Of course, it's my right hand - you know, the one I use to write, mouse, and shift. *argh*

I guess I'll have to do nothing but cardio again if I get my paw bound up.

That really sucks and I'm sorry to hear about your accident. Hope the healing isn't too painful and things progress quickly. As far as strength training - why don't you use rubber band/cables? Some of them have the handles that could slip down past your forearm, meaning there wouldn't be any stress or pressure on your hand.
