oops i did it again!

[thaya]

something rather funny... i dislocated my other (left) thumb last night!

got it put in a cast







only trouble is, my right thumb (which i dislocated 2 months and 5 days ago) is still in a splint and incredibly painful, so now i'm really struggling to do anything with no hands!


i've been having a good chuckle about it all day but when i think about it, i might just have a few problems!

even trying to use the computer is difficult!

i wish i could have taken a pic of the look on the nurses face when i turned up to the hospital yet again!!!

i hope it's not a case of "start the new year as you mean to go on"

[RJD]

Speedy recovery,

How are you even typing?

[thaya]

you're right i'm not exactly looking my best right now

i still have 8 fingers so i can type, but it's difficult!

the main problem i've got is eating! in a week or so the swelling and pain should have gone down a bit, enough to get by!

spent the entire day asleep... that's something i can do without any problems! heehee!

[Beachbum]

Haha, I wish you the best of luck while they're healing, and now you can pop up by using your elbows.

[Luke]

hope they feel better soon.

[tree4]

get healed soon.

[Makka]

least your seeing the funny side of things ... dislocation pain suxxxxxx so i def dont envy you - hope they fix up all good soon

given you a big *Thumbs Up* .... sorry

[Dr Rev]

You could draw faces on the cast and split and have a puppet show !

Hope you get better soon !!!!

[esonscar]

How did you manage the injuries?
Feeling for ya babe. x

[thaya]

How did you manage the injuries?

*majorly embarrassing as it's soooooooooo lame*

the first thumb (my right) i was just tidying up after recently moving house and was lifting something out of the way when it went, the second thumb (my left), all i did was get into bed, put my left hand on the bed to swing my legs over and it popped

the specialist i saw the other day said he'd never seen joints so mobile as mine and reckons that i should have surgery on both my thumbs to keep them in place he's made an appointment for me to discuss what he wants to do with them, in 2 weeks time.

oh and rev - i can't draw on my cast as they bandaged over the top as the cast is split for swelling... but good idea!

i've put up with dislocating stuff since i was 9 years old but now it's happening so regularly it's ridiculous. a good week of my travels round hawaii the other year was ruined when i dislocated my toe and could barely walk. i had to stop surfing for 4 days and just lie on the beach (sipping cocktails )

i don't want surgery though (cuz of other health issues) and fixing my thumbs would only be a start... they'd have to pin all the other things that dislocate - like my toes, my shoulder and my right hip. i'm just gonna leave it for now and hope my thumbs heal quickly and don't pop out again! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
