well at least it isn't broken



the doctor thinks it was either broken (which it isn't) or i snapped a tendon. i wasn't doing anything crazy, just picking up a bucket. It wasn't even heavy and something went pop. Of course it is my right hand and i am mostly right handed. i say mostly because i can use my left for many things, like writing, but the hard part is when you need 2 hands. For example knitting,spinning,sewing, crocheting and say getting dressed (or typing). it has not been a fun day. I can't get my MRI until the swelling is down. that could take a week or more. Part of that is up to me not using it and resting it. that is the hard part.

Oh no!!!! Sending lots of healing thoughts. Did they give you an idea how long this "no knitting" torture would be necessary?

For pity sakes, will you stop that stuff?? A snapped tendon is gonna require surgery, I'll bet. Please take care of yourself and DO WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO!

Smoochies to all
