  1.  I went back to get the rest of my stitches out today. One of those stitches rubbed a nerve.. Felt like  electrocution. At that point she still had 5 more to go.....petrified now...bout to dig a hole in my head intisipation for the next wave of pain..  The next one didn't rub a nerve....Thank goodness...she said she got them all.... Yayyy... She cleans up everything and what you know... She found another one...Dang it... This one is in the most deep and tender spot... O boy.. Back to digging in my head...good godly miss molly... Pain pain... Whew!!! Thats over... I didn't pass out or cry... Now just need a bandaid for my head... I  head now to see the Doctor.. He said hes taking the pin out in 2 weeks... Just enough time for my head to heal...so after 3 hours of torture and didn't cry... I'm had to treat myself to Starbucks awesome coffee and a cake pop.  Ok.. Now all good..

    Hahaha thank you. Maybe it's like how some restaurants try to serve duck well done?? I get that everyone has their preferences but over cooked meat when that isn't what you like is just not good.

    I think I could only eat duck done.. It's such a greasey meat. 

  3. You are correct, easy is good since getting the blood pumping while trying to do something else would hurt even with hand elevated.

     

    Range of motion with knuckle being involved is scary.  Infection would be a concern as well so taking it easy and keeping it clean, dry and drinking good fluids and eating good food is essential.

    I have been pretty lucky in life when it comes to trauma and have survived all of it, so far :-)

    I hope she has a designated cooker/chef for the KK!!


    Ckreef is taking very good care of me. No complaints.

  4. Oh my!  That looks awful and mighty painful!  Time for her to put her feet up and let others take care of her.  Be sure that she gets some PT down the road to regain full use of the finger back.


    PT is scheduled. I will need it before they will release me back to the work force. Very confident I will with time. I will miss my job in the mean time.

  5. Try acupuncture for pain if that is possible where you live.  It really helped me with multiple muscle/skeletal issues.

    And yes Tony B, scar have much more interesting stories.  I could write a long book and my medical file is an ever expanding testament to those ideas :-)  I do not have tattoos but I would wager that they are less painful initially, physically, but can lead to emotional misgivings in the future.

    To be 53, I'm very surprised that this is my first ever broken bone,growing up on a farm with so much kid mischief. I was a bit of a Tom boy. The best thing for me is, I am not on any kind of medicine for any related health issues. I rarely ever have to take Tylenol. I feel very blessed to be able to say that. The only thing I really am concerned with is there is so much Cancer that runs in my family.. I pray I don't carry that gene.

    Great news, indeed that there's no apparent nerve or tendon damage!! 

    Just don't stay on the oxy for too long. It works, but it's nasty stuff! 

    I have been going and going longer without meds.. I too don't want the need of them no longer than I need them. Everything so far is going well. 

  7. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I wanted to take a moment to thank you all. I seen the orthopedic Doctor today. I am scheduled for surgery in the morning at 7am. The Doctor said he didn't think there was nerve damage since I had feeling in my finger. But he didn't know bout my tendons and ligaments till he goes in. The x-ray is from today. Clear view of the break.
