So anyone who knows me well knows that when I get hurt or sick I don't just get hurt or sick I take it to a whole new level. Case in point.. Tuesday of this week I am walking up to a building. I decide to open the "heavy" door or what I think is a heavy door. I grab the metal door handle with my right hand, the hand I write with, and will all of the force my 95 pound body can muster up I swing the door open... still clutching onto the metal handle of the door... and... BAM... my hand slammes into a metal bar. So lets refresh here... metal door handle, right hand clutching onto the metal door handle, metal bar, what does this all add up to? A huge POP in my hand, an immediate purple mark on the top of my hand, and a huge hematoma in the palm of right hand. Did I mention I am right handed??
So after an hour of being in horrible pain I decide I need to have it looked at! So I go to an "urgent care" facility. Really "urgent care" I don't think waiting two hours is being "urgent" but what do I know, I am just in pain right? So after someone has to fill out my forms for me, 'cuz I am right handed and can't write, they take me to x-ray. The girl takes pictures of my hand in some painful positions and then sends me to my room. Dr. comes in says nothings broken, which is good, does say that I broke blood vessels thru and thru and they will take about two months to heal, wraps up the said hand, give me a prescription for some happy pills, and sends me on my merry way.
Have you ever driven with one hand? We all have from time to time, maybe everytime you drive. Well when you HAVE to drive one handed it's not that easy! House hold tasks now look impossible. Your hair and makeup can be pretty scary! And buttoning your pants, not a good thing with a brace on your hand. That's when you enlist your 15 year old "hero" to button them for you. Sorry kid I will call and make you a counseling appointment!
so to add insult to injury I wake up Wednesday morning to find someone has replaced my right had with a "man hand"! Who did this? That is wrong! Then the more I looked the hungrier I got because my fingers resembled sausages!! Ok so the happy pills worked to well!!
Well today is Thursday and I am pleased to say I have upgraded my "sausages" to "little smokies" and I can only hope that tomorrow they will be back to normal!!
So the moral of this story... LET GO OF THE HANDLE!!!

You crack me up. You are right, when you do something, you do it with gusto!
ReplyDeleteCheryl! Ouch! you must have been feeling better to type, or was that one handed too? I am doing a lot of one handed typing with a baby in the other, and it's not that easy. Hope it's better before your trip!
