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.

Thanks everybody. Not in a whole lot of pain - not like Nancy. Just can't do much. Love you guys. Later... ♥♥♥
Oh, no! Not being able to do much IS a pain. I am, though, glad to hear you only broke your pinkie!!! My pain is actually not so bad - controlled by 800 mg ibuprofen....so how bad can it be?
The worst parts are the fight aftermath worthy face mess and liquid diet. Still cheating some - but I DO let it come to room temperature and kind of throw food on my tongue and then right down my throat. Protein powder and shakes might be OK to substitute for one meal, maybe even two, but they do NOT work for THREE! I felt as though I was starving to death and was being awakened in the middle of the night with hunger pains. Had to do something - so i did.
I hope you heal well and quickly and are back to chain sawing in no time!
