I guess she was right :)<br /><br />@Lindsey - *accepts virtual hugs and chocolate* mmm... chocolate ALSO makes everything better :)<br /><br />@Hannah - Thanks!<br /><br />@Tracy - Well, I'm glad you didn't faint. And I'm totally using that story.<br /><br />@erica and christy - yes! flip caps are important :)<br /><br />@Sharon - I'm glad it wasn't my foot, but at the same time I'm like, but I don't type or write with my feet... :)<br /><br />@Elizabeth - thanks! I am grateful for all the well wishes and prayers.<br /><br />@Sarah - yeah, the knuckle. And OUCH! I have never heard of roller skiing before. I'm sure I would fail at it :)<br /><br />@Alan - What good is misery if we can't laugh at it.<br /><br />@Joan - An MRI is not neat. It is loud and awkward :) Also, I agree. That was a great use of curmudgeonly.<br /><br />@Blam - what can I say? I don't know which makes me laugh more, your comments on my post or your comments on the other commenters.<br /><br />Thanks everyone, my thumb is still sore and I still can't bend it, but I see an orthopedic on Wednesday so we'll see how things go :)Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881903861346737553.post-24358656711434089872011-03-20T01:25:03.954-04:002011-03-20T01:25:03.954-04:00@DWAP: I ... once slammed a car door into my own f...<br><i>@DWAP: I ... once slammed a car door into my own face</i><br /><br />Well, I'm sure you deserved it.<br /><br /><i>@Falen: you know, in the summer where you have rollerblades and skipoles and you "ski" down a street</i><br /><br />Um...

Or at the knuckle?<br />Either way, no thanks.<br />I have a friend who's dad like to roller ski (you know, in the summer where you have rollerblades and skipoles and you "ski" down a street) Anyway, he fell once, and because he had the poles in his hands he dislocated BOTH his thumbs. Vom. THEN, because he's kind of curmudgenly, he just jammed them back in place himself. Which was a bad idea.

Look, I know your WiP is giving you the business, but you really didn't have to go out of your way to move bones all around and stuff - you could have just said, "Lindsey... I'm not sure I'll get pages to you on time..."<br /><br />*giggle*<br /><br />Ok, oops, I don't mean to giggle. This is totally a scenario that would happen to me. I broke a pinky finger (it's still crooked) and once slammed a car door into my own face, leaving a small scar on the bridge of my nose. Oh, when I was a teenager, I also slammed the car door on my sister's hand and broke HER finger. It was 2am and we were coming home from an exhasting night babysitting and it was dark and completely accidental. But still.<br /><br />The town I live in was established in 1775, and there are a lot of historical homes and landmarks. Needless to say, they don't like to update a lot. This includes sidewalkage. So I totally get the "sidewalk like steps" visual!<br /><br />Virtual hugs and chocolate for you and tell GNC to go do a cheer for your friends who helped you. She gets lazy and depressed when she sits around listening to emo for too long.<br /><br />Feel better!!!!

I am so sorry =(<br /><br />MRI's are not scary at all. I've had one for my head and one for my leg (I fall down a lot). You just lay there (well, in your case you'll probably be sitting up), try not to move, it makes loud banging noises, and you're done. I hope it all turns out okay!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294698782666991946noreply@blogger.com
