My Hand Is Broken
Yup. I am a walking disaster. That pinky finger I thought was a sprain?
Broken in two places.
They tried a pre-fabricated hand splint, but nothing would fit me. In fact, when they put on the “small” of their smallest kind, my doctor asked, “Do we have an EXTRA small?”
EXTRA SMALL?
I nearly kissed the man right then and there.
I have NEVER been an *EXTRA* small ANYTHING.
But alas, no luck, so they had to make me a custom removable cast with velcro straps.
Thus I will have my GREEN CLAW for the next 4 weeks. If you’re lucky I might hug you with it at BlogHer.
P.S. Notice *WHERE* I broke my finger? My future piano concerto career is now at an end. And I was going to be SO GOOD.

Aren’t you glad you have our education to fall back on? Piano is a brutal sport.
Geez, Aimee. Speedy healing for your pinky. From here on out, stay well and safe.
What the hell Aimee??? – m
oh no! Hope it doesn’t effect your amazing photo shooting and writing!
Here’s to some fast healing!
That looks very painful. Here’s to a speedy recovery! (I’ll drink on your behalf.)
Ouch! But green is *so* your color…
Hope it gets better really soon!
seriously. STOP HURTING YOURSELF!!! i, as a pianist, would pretty much lose it with that kind of injury. you need to kick up your feet [or don’t kick, because you might break a toe or something] and just relax. that offer for a roll of bubble wrap still stands. 😉
Haven’t you heard? Green claws are TOTALLY IN! Can we all sign it at BlogHer?
Oh friend….. I will be expecting a green-clawed hug at BlogHer… xoxo
I hope it heals fast. How are you typing?
ouch ouch ouch. i broke my thumb once. it hurt for 10 days until i finally went to the orthopod, where i felt like an idiot in the waiting room with a lot of seriously broken gimps. i was actually thrilled to find out that it was actually broken, because then i felt less like an idiot. but there was nothing to be done about it, except a tiny little splint. no big green claw. heal well, friend.
I’m going to refer to you as “Dainty Hands” from now on. 🙂
HECK! I’m sorry. I hope it heals well and doesn’t stick out funny.
I was told by my dentist that I have a small mouth. But my husband doesn’t believe me.
When you can move your fingers try having a piano therapy. It’s really effective.
