It's not an exciting story (I fell over and caught it in something).
But the splint makes eating dip off of chips in front of strangers goofy and awkward.
Why not just use my other hand you ask? Because apparently I can't scoop for shit with my left hand! It's hard to say which hand made me look more inept! At one point I looked down at my guacamole covered splint, yelled "shoulda just used it as a shovel!!!" and stalked off to the faucet.
I'm typically a neat eater.
Also I can only assume it wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have hands the size of a child's as the nice lady at Urgent Care came in with the brace saying, "we have a nicer splint but I'm afraid it'll go too far passed the base of your finger". It's my middle finger! My longest finger!!!
So this is either a child's brace or, Idk...a grown-ups pinky brace 😶
