ouch

[juliet]

I have broken my thumb. ouch. Was attempting to remove Sidney from a huge pile of bread scraps some idiot had dumped in the park, and got entangled in her rear legs. Hit the deck with a nasty crunching sound emanating from left thumb. After tea & chocolate failed to resolve the situation, took self to Guy's Minor Injuries Unit (which is seriously ace) where they prodded, xrayed, & then sent me home with a huge temporary cast and a hand clinic appt for tomorrow. (Which is all impressively speedy. I love the NHS!)

ANYWAY. Typing one-handed is a bit of a bitch, frankly, esp if you've been touch-typing since age 8 :/ . shall attempt to limit it & save self for upcoming deadlines. hopefully fairly soon I can stop having to keep it elevated & can at least attempt 9-finger typing.

Gah! I hope you recover swiftly and get as much humour out of this situation as you possibly can.

Guy's Minor Injuries Unit

I love that this exists. That is the best name ever for a place.

Also, dang about your thumb. That is many levels of Crap. :(

Ouch!

*sympathy*

[sidra]

Ouch indeed. What a pain. Hope it heals quickly.

on which note: i fear mtg tomorrow not possible :( (& am away *again* on sunday - sorry!). am optimistic that typing will be mostly ok by next wk i.e. that i'll be able to not elevate it by then.

[sidra]

Don't worry about us. Just make sure you rest your thumb and let it heal.

[forthwritten]

Oooh, nasty! Hope it gets better soon.

Ow jeez! Hope it's not too painful and you get a less awkward solution at the clinic.

Noes! Sending healing vibes from over here...

[slightlyfoxed.livejournal.com]

My sympathy, with much swearing.

hopefully fairly soon I can stop having to keep it elevated & can at least attempt 9-finger typing.

I am picturing you holding a kind of sling in your teeth, keeping your thumb up while the fingers on that hand type. Possibly nodding when you want to hit the space bar.

Oh noes! Hope it heals quickly!

[ludy]
