It’s just my pinky but it’s sore, it’s swollen (the thickness of the finger is about 150% of the opposite pinky) and, well, it looks wrong. [UPDATE: Finger is indeed broken but partially healed. Problem is due to tendon coming loose. Felt a bit sick. Finger splinted and will take 6 weeks to heal] Related … Continue reading “I think I broke my finger.”

Yeah that I would take to casualty to get looked at. Where is the nearest one now? Is Ards still open for Minor injuries? (Still can#t believe they decided anything major needs to go to Dundonald)
For me right now I think it’s City Hospital.
It only bothers me because I can’t use the CTRL key on my keyboard without considerable discomfort.
Oh Jesus, go to the doctor…now!
Isn’t that the optimum finger shape for using the Asus?

I blame Windows. Making me use the CTRL key.
About to go in for XRay
Geez! That’s rough looking! Good luck at the A&E…
I still think its trying to tell you its found water..
was it a mallet finger?? Now held in hyperextension for 6 weeks? Is plastics or ortho looking after you?
Hi Chris, that’s exactly it. 6 weeks in tension. And yes, Mallet finger
I don’t know about Plastics or Ortho. I have to go back in 3 weeks for a checkup.
Good god! How did you manage to do THAT?!!?
If a bit of my body was pointing at an angle it habitually otherwise didn’t, I be at the ER stat!
Just like the time, I swear to God!, I used a public restroom, then unlocked the stall, felt something *wet* on the lock and within two hours the skin that touched it was swelling and beginning to turn *black*. I still don’t know wtf did that. Nor did the ER staff.
Obviously I survived. I hope I’ve now got a resistance to ebola!
Either a resistance to eBola or the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Thank goodness for the NHS!
