Hayley's hand...

News of Hayley's hand, injured after about one minute's play today at the East Midlands regional 10s at "Jimmies".

After waiting about four hours in the Lister the result is... inconclusive. Apparently if there is a break (it seems that the doctor wasn't actually sure one way or another) it has not broken all the way through, just on one side. Maybe.

It is suspected that this less than illuminating diagnosis may be partly as a result of our hero's mitts being a bit odd in some way ("have you injured this hand before"?).

Basically if it is still painful in a week's time she will have to go back to see a whole team of people, including surgeons, etc. If it isn't then... that will be that. Reading between the lines a bit it doesn't sound like it was expected that this would be necessary.

So she might be fit for the Regionals next Monday, and probably will be okay for Lichfield on the 13th... unless she isn't.

[No - the picture isn't actually limb in question...]
