After rushing to get my taxes completed and handed over to my accountant, I rushed home yesterday to try and relax. Instead, I got sloppy and slammed my car door on my right middle finger. Hurt so damned much I couldn’t even relax or sleep, ended up taking a bunch of extra strength pain relievers that didn’t even work. Good thing I was observing the blog silence yesterday because I couldn’t type a thing. Spent the today favoring it on the set of Tin Man back at Bordertown. The finger is still very tender and throbs but no longer is the bane of my existence, merely an elevated irritant. Took a picture of it when I got home today, see my pain for yourself. It’s a nice purple

Waaaaaahhh!
It’s been a long time since I’ve slammed a finger like that (knock on wood) but I can imagine the discomfort.
You have a subungual hematoma….. take a pin and heat it right up over a flame and touch it lightly to the nail. It should burn a hold through the nail and relieve the pressure that has been building up causing even more pain. I like “fixing” these….. I would gladly do it for you if I were near
Take care M’dear!
I had thought about it but: 1.) I had no pin 2.) I was tired 3.) My last effort at self mutilation left me more scarred and in pain than the injury I was trying to relieve.
If you were here maybe you could just kiss it better
To busy looking at your car and not where your hand was?
Ouch. Good thing it was not your trigger finger.
Gross! Maybe your nail will just fall off now and you can start fresh!
Unfortunately, it was his middle finger. At least he has his other middle finger, but is now limited to single birdies rather than the much more spectacular double birdie
You have no pin because you gave it to me remember??!!! I’ll UPS it back to you;)
Keep the pin, otherwise your pants will fall
Isn’t that the point?
Oooh! I like the way you think Alicia!
My cyber-place or your cyber-place
What’s great about that injury is that everybody knows exactly how you got it…being a careless idiot. But look on the bright side, it’s nothing a little glossy red nail polish couldn’t fix. After all, it is just a cosmetic injury. You can’t tell me Mr. Crossfit himself is stymied by this little boo-boo. But if I could, I would kiss it better for ya…you big BABY! lol.
Waaaaah!
