I can guard your beer while you're gone.

But, who guards the guardian??   :eyebrows:

Don't listen to her, Hadron, I'm completely trustworthy, especially when it comes to beer.

Have a good one. :)

I broke my finger yesterday, so I haven't been online since then and I probably won't be online much for the next few days.

I got a splint for it after waiting for hours at "urgent care" but they couldn't put a cast on.

I have to go see an orthopedic surgeon for it soon.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

How bad was it.  I have never gotten a cast on a finger only splints and tape.

Same here.

Hope it heals quickly AND correctly!

Thanks.  I have never broken anything before and it really hurts.

I'm typing one-handed hunt and peck right now.

It's pretty bad, I guess.  I will see the orthopedic surgeon Thursday and I will know more then. 

I hope they can just set it without any surgery.

I fell at the airport and tried to catch myself with my hands.  I felt it bend completely back under me, and while I'm flexible, I'm not THAT flexible.

I got a bag of ice for it from the airport, then we picked up my husband, who drove me to urgent care.

I am quite proficient at the hunt and peck method.  It's how I typed all my college papers!   :green:  As for flexibility, what would your husband say??   :eyebrows:

On a more serious note, surgery will all depend upon if there is any ligament or tendon damage that might need correction.  On a lighter note, it's not really serious surgery, it will be a PIA, but, better than surgery on your knee or elbow or elsewhere.

Good luck, Callaway!

*huggles*

I think you know that I have broken bones in my hands a number of times. They all have healed well, even the ones that I only discovered when they were half healed.  It can still hurt like hell during times of a falling barometer, though! I think that goes for any previously broken bones.

I hope that you do not require surgery.
