Jake, I had a friend with a similar thing to you ("droopy finger from a basketball injury"). He left it alone, it looks creepy now a days. :) I'd recommend leaving it on.
My son got a mallet finger injury on his pinkie playing basketball before junior year of high school. He kept playing and 6 weeks later I took him to the orthopedic Dr. it was splinted like yours but didn’t heal back the same. The dr. was very kind in reassuring us that it’s very common in basketball and football and if you look at professional players, their fingers are all crooked. (Can you hear the underlying mom guilt I still have?). I’m glad you acted quickly to get the splint and I hope for the best result.
What a great episode! I love Katie so much! Grace to her in this final stretch of pregnancy. I totally understand having to take Tums from a nurse! Pregnancy heartburn is terrible. Also thank you for sharing your real life mistakes, like the left suitcase story. My worst “left on a plane item” was a journal I’d written in every day on my month long mission trip. I did not get it back so yay Trey got his bag back.
I was camping out of cell service when the assassination attempt happened. Then I got into cell coverage. And I’m like… “wow! A lot can happen when you’re off the grid for 2 days”
thank you for answering this, I asked several ppl in my office and they were like what are you talking about? I was like I know I heard him say let me get my shoes or something along those lines.
Walking the cemetery to find a name for a girl is crazy. They didn’t have a list of possible names ready? Google can get you more creative names than a cemetery. 😬 There’s got to be a bigger story on why they did that.
10:11 That's kind of crazy because my dad got that same injury on the SAME finger just a couple of weeks ago... Never even heard of it before until the doctor told us what it was.
Can’t believe you guys went to the Firebirds game!! I was there and then headed directly to your show. DJ was like, let me hear those Albany Firebirds fans!! And it was me and one other person. Heading to East Rutherford for the bowl. LET’S GO BIRDS 🔥🦅 And thanks for a hilarious show in our egg!
Jake, what the heck with your rec BBall league lately!? 2 injuries 2 weeks in a row! No fun! Katie, I feel exhausted with you! Pregnancy is no joke! Best to you these last 10 weeks or so! ❤
I dislocated my toe once too and had a very similar reaction. It didn't hurt at all, just felt funny, so I turned to my mom and said "there's nothing wrong with your toe, put it back." And then I realized something was in fact wrong 😆
57:49 Oh my gosh! My mom’s maiden name was Hedges! And they had a big family so I have a lot of relatives with that last name. Don’t think I’m related to Gay Lynne though. 🤣
Jake, my husband and I both got mallet finger from jiu jitsu. My husband did physical therapy and wore a splint for a long time and his never went back to normal. I ignored mine and just made sure I used the finger regularly and mine went back to normal and I have normal range of motion again 😂 I think the splint is a toss up. Rub some dirt on it.
