so sorry to hear that. that happened to me once, I was all dressed up and trucking across a busy intersection downtown, just left an interview and twisted my ankle and went down hard. scraped my knee pretty bad. one person got out of his car to make sure I was ok. I was ok, but humiliated. I think I was pretty chunky then too. maybe you can run on the treadmill or ride the bike while your hand heals. good luck.

Try wrapping your hand or wearing a glove to protect the injury or use a lighter weight and the other hand?

I like using barbells for a lot of exercises. I can use dumbbells I suppose, but I don't want to be lopsided. LOL!

My hands even get sweaty while I am on the treadmill. I guess I am going to have to do the treadmill flat until the thing heals up a bit better - when I work at an incline I hold on for dear life. LOL! I can still use the bike though. It's recumbent and I don't keep my hands on the grips much at all!
