in the whiter light of the orthopedic dr's office...
the green-ish part looks black...
[BTW...I'm 1-finger typing, because at the moment...
anything else really hurts...]
look at the tip, see how it tends to turn up...?
OK...Dr."Evil" manipulated it down...
[it wasn't easy...it didn't want to move at all...
ie..."hurt like bloody @#$$%^"...]
then up...[which also hurt like....]
then all the way down...& back...
several times...
then, he did similar painful things to the middle joint too...
also squeezing, pressing and feeling his way around both joints...
coming to the conclusion...
that there was no need for invasive measures...
[$urgery, $crews, pin$...etc...ect...ect...]
that both injured joints were extremely swollen & sore...
from the injury trauma...
[hello... you just mashed & twisted both joints...
testing, "range of motion"...
d#@% straight they're swollen & sore...NOW, especially...]
so he did this...
he said I could wear the splint at night...
to avoid hurting myself in my sleep...
as the splint keeps it from moving or being painfully bumped...
[it worked really well last night...
I actually slept through the night without rolling on it...]
but since I need to move it to get it to heal...
I need to go with the tape job during the day...
tomorrow is trash & cat box day...
this should be interesting...
so I'm grateful it's not worse...
no long term treatment$...
the assistant who took my medical history...
couldn't believe,"how healthy you are..."
she said that nearly all of the people she takes histories from...
have so many health problems...
high blood pressure, bad cholesterol, diabetes, allergies to everything...
and they're taking so much medication...
she couldn't believe that I take basically nothing...
but OTC pain meds & Zyrtek D for sinus...
besides that...I was up to date on ALL check-ups...
AND vaccinations...
she left laughing that she'd remember me...
as one of her very few "healthy ones"...
you just never know when something good will come your way...
do you ? but then...He is the Master of everything...

Catsinger, I am hoping that your poor fingers LOOK worse than they really are! What sad...but colorful...digits they are!
How lucky you are to be so healthy! I, sadly, am one of those people with everything wrong taking all kinds of drugs that will probably put me in an early grave. Wait, I'm too OLD to die "young!"
Continued good health to you in the New Year ahead. Ah, yes, God most certainly is in charge and is GOOD...ALL the time!
...thanks for the kind words...
