OUCH is an Understatement

In case you were wondering... a metal garage door and the pointer finger of a left hand do not go well together. I'm just saying...

I'm not meaning to be unsociable or rude with my lack of presence here or comments at your place since my blog break. It's just that my finger got caught in our garage door Wednesday afternoon. The slat closed completely before I could stop the momentum and get it open to get my finger out. A finger looks quite odd flat...

Since then I have been in unbelievable pain keeping it elevated as much as possible and periodically applying ice.


I'm thinking I may have an underlying fracture. Debating when and if to see a doctor...

Needless to say I have not been sleeping well and daily tasks such as changing, dressing and caring for a toddler have become quite awkward, painful and dreaded. The family is helping out amazingly when they are here!

I will return here as soon as I can get the throbbing and pains that radiate through my hand and up through my shoulder with having it down for any length of time under control.

Of course, It wouldn't bother me one bit if you could say a prayer as you think of it.

For now it's back to the ice pack, elevation and ibuprofen...
