right hand

[jinian]

Good news: No fracture visible on any of the several oddly positioned X-rays taken of the hand this morning. (Also: if I go back to the hospital at some point I can get hand-bone pics on CD.)

Bad news: Probably a strained ligament is what still hurts too much, and those take about eight weeks to heal. No throwing sticks for dogs any time soon.

(ETA: This is from the hand-mashing I did on 22 September, not some new thing.)

i'm sensing you're dented.

i'm glad it's not badly dented, at least.

I remain dented since ten days ago, yep. It's not too bad, just still hurts when I do some stuff... like taking notes in class.

I thought "ETA" was "estimated time of arrival".

Glad there are no breaks! But yeah, strained ligaments can hurt a loooong time. Did they give you a brace so you don't tweak it while you sleep?

The "edit to add" notation is all over the other side of my reading list. It mystified me briefly on first sight too.

No brace, because it's in a place that's hard to immobilize. The doctor said I could curl my hand around a pair of socks and then tape it up, but that wasn't necessary unless I had a fracture. I think unless I start sleeping on it or something it's not going to be worth the trouble.
