Blunt Damage
article, damage
A fun thing happened last Friday. A heavy cutting board fell three feet from a shelf. Edge first. Htting a very solid wood surface. The problem was that my hand was in the way. That hand/eye coordination trained from youth through countless hours on controllers were no use now. I was too slow and it hit two fingers on my right hand.
Of course, I waited a week for the swelling and pain to subside. The fingers weren't swollen any longer but the throbbing pain persisted. I continued to work, pack for our move, and shitpost. Eventually, I relented to my spouse's pleading and went to the doctor.
Turns out I broke two fingertips! The splints are annoying but typing this post wasn't too painful, just slow-gowing.
