Dislocated Finger

We spent a lovely 3 hours at Urgent Care yesterday morning instead of going to church. I managed to dislocate my pinkie finger (which they "reduced" or manipulated back into place) and also chip the bone (which they gave me a soft cast for). So my dominant hand is virtually useless this week and I am having to learn how to do a few things with just my left hand. Like type!!

I am very thankful it was not worse, thankful it happened while my hubby was home, and thankful our children were such troopers at urgent care for 3 loooooong hours. Here is my finger before "reduction". Yes, I have a picture taking sickness, I know.



Blogger is insisting on turning this picture sideways today, no matter what I try, so you'll have to tilt your head, but here is my lovely soft cast which I have to keep on for a minimum of one week. This will be a great opportunity for our children to have to step up and help more!



For those of you wondering how this happened, it was oh so glamorous. I tripped while running up our hard wood stairs, and when I went to catch myself I jammed my finger on the lip of the top step. Haste truly does make waste. Since all the children were already buckled in the van to go to church, we just grabbed an ice pack and headed off to urgent care.

So if I don't blog a whole lot this week now you'll know why!
