Since they way I broke it was like a falling motion and me catching myself with my hand and thumb snapping backwards, I told my mom I tripped on the uneven sidewalk (I had gone out with friends the day before, so had "witnesses") and didn't go get it looked at for a couple days when ice wasn't working and the bruising was spreading. And since the story was plausible the orthopedic surgeon also believed me how it happened 🤦🏼‍♀️
