Plate and 9 screws, and 12 weeks later I was OK. Hate to sound old mannish but wear wristguards.Display Namehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184339059695440959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-23257985263182497132016-01-23T02:44:15.885-06:002016-01-23T02:44:15.885-06:00Good to hear your injury should heal without loss ...Good to hear your injury should heal without loss of function. Some injuries just seem odd, considering how minor the incidents were. <br /><br />Had a roommate drop a large ceramic planter pot onto a sink, and it shattered. He got hit by a fragment that cut his hand, or maybe finger (memory is fuzzy on the details). Blood spraying all over the scenery.<br /><br />I ran him to the doc-ina-box, who did some work on it, and charged him a couple hundred. The Doc suggested it should be looked at by a specialist, just in case. So, off we went to a hospital, where he sat in a room while lots of doctors wandered in, one at a time, and looked and went "hmmm". The result was they decided the first doc did good work, and their consulting bill was $900. This was about 25 years ago.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-71050948384048567812016-01-22T22:05:00.851-06:002016-01-22T22:05:00.851-06:00Good move to go quickly to the Doc-inna-Box.

Yep, I have issues.<br />The only nice part was that when people would ask what happened, I would show them using the injured left middle finger.<br />Take care, heal up.<br />(And do not hit the injury on the turn signal stalk.

...If you let the dogs lick your hand it will heal.<br /><br />I don't really mean that but I thought about it when I read of your hand injury in an earlier post. Hands are very complicated as are wrists and fingers. I know of a surgeon who ONLY works on little fingers and makes a princely income doing that.<br /><br />Best wishes for an early recovery.LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-87556096915376879042016-01-21T10:33:20.386-06:002016-01-21T10:33:20.386-06:00I must say you are great typing one-handed....
