back and forth to the hospital for months on end , was a right pain ! and it's still not 100% I have to be really careful not to put any pressure on it ! and when it gets cold it aches ! it's amazing how essential one finger can be ! I was most incapacitated by its none function ! take my advice Cheri keep the splint on at all times and do not attempt to lift a finger ! ( ha so to speak ) till its healed . trust me . mine took for ever because I thought it would never fix ! by just keeping it straight ! so I kept taking the splint off the see if it was straight! or if it was still flopped over where it broke ! oh and it hurt like hell ! it's just like an elastic band in there that just attaches to the bone ! amazing really how it works ! anyway I do feel for you ! I know exactly what you've got to contend with! just keep with it !
God Bless ya
hmmm ! now i'll have a think about covers !
bed cover s ! it's late
tomorrow I'll think of song covers maybe !
Deborah, thank you so much for your concern. This splint is a real pain in the neck. I CAN'T take it off to check the finger because the doctor said that if I do, the tendon will break again and set the clock back to zero, meaning that I will have to wear the splint for another two months!! It actually doesn't hurt too much; my forehead (where I scraped it) and my rib hurt way more. Scott is proud of me for trying to ski but he says that I probably shouldn't ski again until I have health insurance. He, of course, is an avid skier and has been since he was about 7 years old.
It's great to hear from you. I hope life is going well for you and that we can connect in England again sometime. Not sure that this is the best year for me since I will have to incur some expensive moving expenses, plus a wedding. BUT, if Steve is going to play The Stables again with his full rock band, that would be a hard thing to pass up. I would hope that he is going to play some more concerts around that time so that I can see him more than just once. It's a very expensive endeavor to travel to England to see him, but he's my passion and you only go around life once, so if you feel passionate about someone or something and have the opportunity to take advantage of it, I feel that you MUST.
Take care, Deborah. We will keep in touch.
Cheri
