blather: one-handed typing (and not in a good way)

well kids, just got home from the ER after 5 fun-filled hours (some of them strapped to a backboard. and I have to say: since when don't the EMTs take your word for it that you didn't injure your neck?)

see, I tanked the bike hitting a pothole at the bottom of one of our steepish hills. major crash up.  I had to straighten out my own busted finger right after--easier than it sounds since it wasn't hurting yet, just looked wrong and I couldn't feel it and the kanked nature of it squicked me so i just grabbed it and pulled it straight again.  aiii!  I felt like Ranger!Jim for all of ten seconds until the pain hit.

other than the broken finger, the road rash and various mongo bruises and strained muscles, I'm in pretty good shape. but this will put the kibosh on the F/K story I was working on.  one-handed typing sucks!  still, i've got some great fodder for my next ER scene.

my boss is going to kill me--I'm the fourth person with a break to fingers/hand in the last 2 months, and we're a software company.  they pay me to type, goddammit.

signed,
up shit creek

Ouch!

You straightened up for busted finger ... ouch. God! I broke all fingers of my left hand - not at the same time, mind you - so I can feel your pain.

Take care!

Oh, four weeks at least. And you can't imagine how important your pinkie is until it's all wrapped up and useless ...
