I fractured my middle finger


Vela

Recommended Posts

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 😶

I love injuring my middle finger. Quite fun isn't it?

...

This is a reoccurring incident for you?  Is it an intentional endeavor of yours?

I think I'm going to go ahead and disagree with you on this one.  It was kinda painful and it made a gross cracking noise when it happened.  I mean it's not so terrible now and my retelling of how it happened when people ask has improved but the splint makes certain things annoyingly impossible to do so that I wind up taking it off half the time.  Things like the dishes...or typing >.> which just becomes mildly painful again.

I guess it depends on how badly you've injure it?  And which hand it's on.  I've only ever fractured one other thing before, never completely broken anything.  But please, do tell about your experiences.  I'm very interested.

not recurring, not a break, but I had it wrapped in bandage and medical tape so I couldn't bend it. it was like a splint.  It was my right hand, and I am right handed. it was just fun to have my middle finger out all the time.

I've been injured a lot.

You mean dancing around to the Bird's the Word?  Oddly it is.  WAY more fun than watching a fictitious character doing it...yes.

They make vape pens for children now?!  They HAVE gone too far!

No srsly tho.  Think that thing's for a kid or is it an adults' pinky brace?  I've got unusually small fingers, don't I.  Maybe I should post a pic of my hand with some sort of reference...

Pic is broken.

But I too know what it's like to have tiny hands. Except I'm a dude, so it's far more embarrassing for me. :|

Fixed, I think...I mean, looks like it did when I posted the first time so we'll see.

 

Oh yeah?  TINY HAND HIGH FIVE!!!

Can't be that bad of a fracture, they told me to keep the thing on for only two weeks.  Or is that normal for fractures, Idk.

Nah, your hand doesn't look all that small.  I mean, they would probably be small on me, but they look about right for you.

🤪 I just had a few funny and not so funny images of different hand transplants run through my head.

okaygoodproportionateisgood thank you ^.^

Okay people, what do you think.?  Average or tiny carny hands? 

 UE2.jpg.70258d13dbf554cbf9b8540981184b98.jpg My mouse for reference.

 

Looks like the size of my hand, lol. I can't compare mine to a mouse without getting up, I don't use mice, I (almost) never use mice, laptop touchpad all the way (and before that, while they still existed, the "eraser head").

No don't get up...I'm sure you can visualize the length of a pen in your hand...cause I took one of those too ::isdork::

Yeah for some reason I really need to know if we have the same size hands.  I MUST KNOW!!!

You remember that episode of Friends where Joey randomly finds his "identical hand twin" in a public restroom?

Well, WE'RE IDENTICAL HAND TWINS! 

Seriously, my hands are like the same exact size, lol. 

And if you have tiny hands for a woman.... just imagine me... a man.... :D

Wait, you're imagining me as a man? I AM a man! And you don't have to imagine, there's pics of me in the pic thread floated at the top. :P I don't think my hands are showing though.

What's Numbers?

lawl 😆  I meant I was picturing you but this time in your proper stature.  Which then made me imagine myself as a man...again. 

It's like a patty-cake game and if you're good at it it's almost like your hands never leave the others' hands ::slips sedatives into paper sleeve then tucks said sleeve behind bra-strap::

When you were describing Numbers my eyes started glossing over then "bra-strap" got my attention again. :ph34r:

Top video: wut?

Bottom video: I'm not normally a fan of wild hair colors, but she makes it work. She's beautiful. Those eyes! Could be the make up though, I guess.

Top video was for me don't worry.

Soooo pretty. I mean I'm mostly certain they're colored contacts but the combo is lovely.  And her minimal expressions are adorable.  

On I side note I've been listening to this and laughing intermittently while I post for about 10 min. now. 😄  The squeaky noises really get me for some reason.🙃

Well now you can flip people off and not feel bad 

Constantly, basically whenever I use my right hand for anything.

 

Omgosh thank you for getting me back on topic.  I so easily get distracted xD

been a bit busy but going well for the most part. i got all my fingers in good shape so i cant complain.

i hope your work dont require much the use of the middle finger, unless it is your job to flip of people off.

That's nice to hear.  Busy is good if it's the good kind of busy 😄

Nah, just need it for everyday stuff.  I'd like to say I can flip people off like a boss.  But in actuality I've always thought and felt it a little too crude for my style.

nah im not that lucky xD

 

but seriously, i bet you becoming more dexterous at using your other fingers. 

Oh noez!  Life. ::pets your head::

That's the thing, I thought I already used my left hand for a lot of stuff.  I read somewhere when I was like, 10, that using both hands helped stimulate both sides of the brain, which my be a crock of bull Idk...but I've been mindful of it ever since.

Thought I was decent with my left hand...'til I tried eating dip 😶

 

But maybe that experience had more to do with being impatient and hungry than my ineptitude...and maybe it was because I was sitting crotch level by a bunch of strangers at the time because there were no seats left and despite being successful at small talk that night I still don't like being watched when I eat or making messes when I eat...maybe possibly >.>
