Protip - Don't ever break your finger
And now to follow - 8 weeks of hell.
I broke my finger last Monday and it is the most annoying thing that has ever happened to me. First it was the week of pain, now its this. A splint that has to hold my finger in a hyper extended position for 8 weeks. Because I didn't just break a bone, I broke off the piece of bone that attaches the tendon to my finger. In the week since doing this - that bone has actually moved further away from where it was supposed to be. So now I have this splint that causes constant discomfort and is a major source of frustration as I'm supposed to try and use my finger normally - because if I don't I will either lose ROM, or constantly holding it up will end up causing severe pain in the tendons up my arm from straining so much to lift it.
I'm just a little frustrated right now. Pity party at my place - bring your own ice cream.
/end rant
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go tape a plastic bag over my hand so I can have a shower.
