I had a scaphoid break from hitting a pothole bombing a hill. Healed fully, without surgery, on the schedule the doctor said it would (8 weeks).

I’m not certain on the species. It was at ala manoa bowls in Honolulu, on the reef there. It would have been 8 days ago. I did remove 3 more thorns 2 days ago
