Current mood:  annoyed
I'm sitting here typing without my right thumb and getting pretty used to that because I had some e-mails to send. Thanks to a Rottweiler, I have temporarily lost use of the first digit on my right hand, and consequently got a day off of work. Thank goodness it's Friday and I have tomorrow off, so I have 3 days to heal. I'm hoping it's okay by monday... I can't stand more days off work doing nothing!!!
It's kinda a long story as to how it happened... basically it was just an accident, and accidents happen. The dog was in pain, I apparently touched it wrong, and without warning it bit me... no look, no freezing, no stare, no growl, no teeth showing... nothing. Thankfully the dog was muzzled or it seriously scares me to think of what else he may have done with his mouth! So I got a thumb full of Rottweiler incisors, leaving a really deep puncture wound on the inside of my thumb, it's bruised lovely all the way around, and there's some crushing damage. No broken bones per Dr I saw yesterday, but it looks like a pink and purple sausage and I can't move it as of right now... it's kinda tingly and feels funny.
Today I pretty much moped around with my loving boyfriend who came over and took care of me. I never realized how much I love my right hand!!! I can't play fetch with the dogs, using the computer mouse hurts so I do the gimpy left-hand thing, I'm not too coordinated at eating, I can't unlock, open, or turn anything, and worst of all??? it takes me frickin 20 minutes to go to the bathroom because I can't get my pants on or off!!!
meh... I'm going to get back to my ice pack before I regret it... I've had ice on it since it first happened yesterday -- even through the night -- and after taking it off for only half an hour today while I was watching TV with the bf, my poor appendage had become a throbbing sausage. No comments Jenna!!! lol...
Thanks for everyone who's called!!! I love you all...
PS pictures don't even do it justice... it's not that ugly, it's just SWOLLEN... so much so that the puncture on the inside of my thumb looks like it's gotten bigger because it's splitting... ouch... that's all I gotta say...
