What is it this time?

When you slide slowly to the floor following an ill-considered attempt to hug one's beloved who is seated on a cat poof, you do not really anticipate doing much damage.



The speed was glacial, the distance short, the landing soft. However, the two very loud crunching noises from my left thumb joint followed by nauseating waves of pain suggested that a Bad Thing had occured.

Oh no. Not again.

I'm grateful for the second crunch, for I think I might have dislocated and then relocated my thumb. No loss of movement, but some unimpressed ligature. Ice and the ability to type one-handed at speed are also good things.

I shall discover tomorrow if my gear-shifting abilities have suffered. I started looking at advanced driving courses this evening and have been watching The Stig closely. Perhaps a trip to timezone first :-)

I neatly sliced the top off my left thumb today with knife. It must be the day for thumbs and the end of a seriously crap week for me.

How much thumb? Medical treatment required? An unexpected snack for Zoe?

I hope things pick up for you soon.

Enough to produce a flow of blood no normal bandaids could handle en masse. Ended up being taken to my mother in law who used her nursing skills on me. I'm beginning to think I should just start hibernation now...

Thanks but I'll be fine. A stiff stick of celery and I'll be wrestling crocdiles again in no time.

Oh, ouch!

Hope it feels better quickly.

It makes facepalming a little uncomfortable, and that's a shame becaue I seem to do it a lot.

I drove about three streets yesterday, and it made it ache.
:-(
But much better regardless.
