Crying into my cereal

FrombrumtobrazilSo went to the doctors this morning about a thumb injury (skiers thumb) and theyve told me my Ulnar collateral ligament is fully torn and theyre gonna operate on monday, put me in a full arm cast for 6 weeks, and no sports for 3 months.
now the doctor was very set in this and as such wouldnt discuss the possibilty (which i understand is medically correct). however, i am likely to get only one week of skiing this year which, for one ive already paid for (1000£:() and this is in almost exactly 4 weeks.
the way i see it is that if i am in a plaster cast and i wrap the hand and arm in shirts and jumpers, then again in tape, the thumb will be so tightly bound and secure that the risk of recurring the injury will be >5% and thus im willing to take the risk. im not sure if impact can damage a ligament, or just flexion? anyone got any advice/opinions as to how i can do this
P.S. I dont need people calling me dumb i understand that it is but skiing is basically the only thing i live for and the thumb on my non-dominant hand really doesnt seem that important to me (again dumb but idc).

arnie_grapeif you care that much about skiing just go skiing instead of crying into your cereal like a gay bitch and i hope you come back to this thread in 5 years at the ripe old age of 17 and punch yourself in the face for being such a pussy fucko

hope i could help!!!

Frombrumtobrazilill be 8 in 5 years and my mums gonna report you for that language xxxx

arnie_grapemy last reply was a bit callous im sorry you're hurting but you literally dont need hands to ski you're gonna be okay bubba

Farmville420Does your pass have injury insurance, as in they refund the pass if you have a season-ending injury?

ReturnToMonkeyI broke my ring finger and worked on a fishing boat for 7 more weeks before I flew back and got it checked out to confirm it was even broken. Shits fucked but after almost 3 months of PT it's coming along pretty well. I think you're more likely going to be fine. Just dont take any hard landings or swing your arms around, much less fall.

Frombrumtobrazilyeah forsure, glad youre healing up! i think itll be ok i think as someone said higher up, the main issue is getting a cast tha doesnt go all the way to the elbow as it might create a pressure point there and id much rather have a floppy thumb for life than a floppy elbow lol

ReturnToMonkeyOh yeah i guess I meant to say that after breaking it and still working a very hand-intensive job the finger wasn't too bad. I think you have relatively low risk if you ski gently and will be fine too. Fall on your shoulder/side not your arm if you fall
