Sprained hand

I sprained my hand Sunday.  Still dealing with swelling, unable to make a fist or put weight thru it.  My first HIM is June 8th and I just did my first run since injury.  Did ok with a little modifying.  I'm figuring I will do ok on the bike also.  I'm a little freaked out about the swim.

I'm an ok swimmer, figuring 45-55 min for my swim.  I was thinking I may need to swim with my hand in a fist, but I can't make one.  (My middle finger can't fully flex.)  Any thoughts/suggestions to make me not so freaked out?

    Carla, what about trying to find a hand brace, or possible splinting your finger (it could be as simple as taping some fingers together), for the swim? If your finger can't flex, the splint will ensure that it stays straight. Just a thought.
