out of commission for a while/update

fell & dislocated pinkie on right hand in 3 places.  in a splint.  back when I can.  be good!

=================== 

Update 8/1/19

Not sure why the NP (nurse practitioner) said it was dislocated in three places (looks like only one to me from the xray), but just wanted to add the actual image of the xray as it might be interesting to those who have never seen what a complete dislocation looks like.  (Sure was interesting to me!)  I found Greg's xray of his spleen really interesting and illuminating  (not that we're comparing ailments, his is much more severe)  so thought I'd stick in a couple of what a dislocated finger looks like.  It's kinda amazing to see.  (Let alone to experience!)

It WAS put back in place.  And "buddy wrapped" and they gave me a splint.  Still swollen, (icing off and on) but trying to be more active with it.  Not being too good about keeping the splint on during the day, (unless I'm doing something stressful with the hand) but do sleep with it.

it all just Pisses me off!  which is Good!  (like U Nancy).  Stubborn old broads!  Iguess if U dont chew the food and just swallow it whole, it aint gonna touch your holes so no worry.    Soon You'll be swallowing goldfish - or sushi!  God I wish I txted sure would be easier to type with just 2 thumbs!  
until you get thi\umb arthritis.  which I also have.  Golden Years my ass!  Hey - yur not starving to death, yur  just on a viggan diet for a while.  Or no-   you're on a toothless diet.  great for losing weight as i think you said.   think manatee!  its an expression i've had 4 several days now.  but NOT without5 a sense of hewmer!  Grrrrrrr  (& -not brken just ddisocated in 3 places with a minor bone splintering.  NBD  (NO BIG DEAL!)  And certainly nothing to smoke over!
