Man bro.. I was never able to keep a splint on my fingers,lol.. They always drove me nuts! Getting in the way all the time etc... I remember closing my dang finger in the door when my index finger was in a splint,lmao.. OUCH!!! I usually took them off after a few days ,no wonder I have arthritis in both my hands now right,lol.. My thumb was the hardest to deal with, I didnt know I needed my thumb so bad till it broke. When I broke my wrist I ended up cutting the cast off about 2 weeks after I got it. Not real bright but back then I was young and dumb... Now I'm in my upper 30's and totally feel the results of not doing what I was told. Thankfully I was always a super fast healer. I always made joke like I was like Wolverine,lol.. If I got a real bad deep gash, it would be healed within a few days. Now that I'm older, I'm not as fast of a healer.. Please take good care of it my friend, dont do what I did cause you will regret it in a few years.
and don't play "pull my finger" with that one, for now
