I’ve moved to @solsetur
Day 41: I have refreshed the laboratory app a hundred times now waiting to see the horrors of my finger unfold in MRI, but no. They have yet to be uploaded.
Day 40: not cool at all. Specialist checked and said the ligament aren’t healing so I probably need surgery (there was mention of a wire sticking out during recovery ARGHHH) anyway here is the pic I took when waiting for MRI
MRI was a cosmic joke. It is a finger you think but this entails stripping down like all other MRI, lying on tummy with right arm extended overhead and held in a vice grip. And I practically had to go in headfirst this way (the noise was probably the worst AI music ever)
Day 36: back into a new finger splint. Therapist is puzzled at the lack of improvement so.. new splint and also a referral to hand specialist now (and maybe MRI). Decided to just go for it since I have company insurance coverage.
Day 32: great I broke the splint and my finger doesn’t seem better still.
Day 31: still doesn’t look great does it? (Also Musuko threw a grand tantrum at grandparents’ yesterday and kicked it)
Day 27: why is my finger still stiff why is my finger apparently swollen?
Day 25: I have proven to myself multiple times now that this finger is still not ready for life without the splint. Which makes sense I guess I was warned it could be a 6 weeks recovery period depending on how bad the tear was… some things seem better (like I can shower without the splint and wash my hands without almost without incident) but I guess we just have to be patient.
Anyway made another appointment with therapist next Friday and I suspect this bump in my knuckle is permanent.
Day 22: nope. Not recovered yet after all (knuckle was significantly swollen at end of day) so back to finger splint
Day 21 freedom (from finger splint) is terrifying so am using this ball to rebuild flexibility, strength and dexterity.
But otherwise am soft bandaging it haha.
