Big Ouch

[jacey]

Spent the afternnon and evening in A & E. Note to BB: please remember when giving the car a push for the garage man, to remove your hand from the doorframe BEFORE he slams the door on it. Result: big bandage on broken and split little finger, left hand. He may never play the violin again*.

The car isn't in good shape either. I drove home last night from a meeting and as I pulled up and tried to put it into reverse to turn it round I couldn't get the gear. Thought it was just me because I'm a mechanical dunce. But it wasn't. This is entirely why the garage man was at our house this lunchtime.

I'm not sure which will be most painful. BB's squashed finger or the estimate for trepairs when it arrives.


* BB doesn't actually play the violin... but he does play 'cello. Thankfully not for a living.

Ouch. Poor BB. I hope it heals quickly.

Ouch! Injuries to fingers are extra painful because of all the nerve endings. I hope it heals quickly.

Oww. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thnks everyone. He's all bandaged up now but the damn thing hasn't really stopped bleeding yet. (They put superglue in it last night to close it up...)

Ouchie. Hope he heals quick (course he does, he's a Yorkshireman).

Having done that, only with a building door, not car, I send healing vibes his way. Did he get to see his xrays? My little finger had the cutest tiniest spiral fracture I'd ever seen or imagined.

I don't know whether he got to see the x-ray or not. He's going back to the trauma clinic tomorrow, I'll remind him to have a look.

He had a look this morning. It was more like a chip out of the end of the bone.
