Spending the morning in the emergency room SUCKS ASS.

Yeah. Got my hand slammed in my bedroom door this morning. It's bleeding everywhere and I nearly threw up and passed out from the blood and the pain.

So I go into the emergency room and get it x-rayed and all that fun stuff. My left middle finger is broken, and the nail is smashed and will fall off, so I need to go see a hand doctor tomorrow from that. And since it was still bleeding more than three hours after it happened, I got three stitches.

Holy **** this hurts so much cry

When they were giving me a shot for the anesthetic, it felt like they were stabbing right through my hand...and even with that it still hurt like all hell.

Try breaking your wrist in 3 places and having the doctor inject painkiller directly between the broken bones and then the painkiller not working while they seperate your hand from your arm and manually squeeze the bones back into place. That hurt.

Well, I'm not gonna be at school on Friday for the next few weeks...just had a doctor's appointment and have another checkup next Friday and the Friday after, and I need to get more x-rays in three weeks to see how it's healing. It's not the hand I write with though so that won't be effected at all.

I went in today to see a hand doctor and they ended up pulling the nail off entirely, and they took out the stitches from yesterday and replaced them with new ones and did a few more. After they did the anesthetic I didn't feel a single thing at all, which was great. Yay no pain!

They gave me a smaller splint as well, so I can actually move my hand without hurting my finger. I'm gonna be wearing a splint for at least 6-8 weeks though.

Let's hope that nail grows back. I don't know about fingernails but I know when I toenail comes off, there's a chance it may not grow back.

Well hopefully you'll have somebody that will let you know what happened in your classes. That sucks. I'd be pissed. I almost ended up missing my class this morning b/c of the doctors. I got back and had 10 mins to get to class.

I think the worse thing that happened to me in terms of injuring certain body parts was when I was playing football with my older cousins and their friend when I was younger, or either we were racing, I don't remember. But I happen to be in front somehow, and then I tripped and fell and then it came. They all came running and they all ran on top of me. They just didn't or couldn't stop.

I sprained my hand so bad. I couldn't close my hand. I couldn't grab anything. I don't actually know what's bad in terms of sprains but I know it was bad for me at least.

There is the time though that my grandma was cooking and I was standing too close and the whole pot of hot grease fell on top of my foot.

Thinking back on it, I don't know which was worse. But oh my god. I don't even remember how I managed to get around or wear shoes and stuff, if I even wore shoes.

Hope you get better and I hope my pain brings you joy in your time of pain.

If that makes since.

Well, that's why I've got checkups next week and the week after, so they can check on the nail and be sure that it's growing in properly.

Now the worst is over

I need to go find my camera so I can take a picture of how weird the bandages and splint look.

Oh, and I got to see how my finger looked when I was at the doctor this morning....ewwww. It was all bruised and bloody and gross.

Two months I'll be wearing the splint, though, and 3 until it's all completely healed...at the earliest.

Somehow i dont think yours were as bad, but I can assure you that your finger will be kinda usable in 2 months. At what part exactly did it break? Mines, the bone got pulverized so i need surgery still to completely fix it.

The nail will grow back, mines has and looks perfectly fine.

But girl that pain, it will get much more manageble with pain medication. After the first 2-3 days, pain killers helped a whole lot. But its after the first cleaning, where the nurse squeezed and pulled on it , after that the pain never went away fully for a couple of weeks.
Dont want to scare you, but thats what happened to me.

I was sooooooooo high on drugs , sometimes i was slurring my words and still that didn't take away the pain.

BUt it gets better, THAT I CAN ASSURE YOU.

Oooh, OUCH

How mine broke is the bone is split down the middle at the tip, and then goes off to the side; they x-rayed it again yesterday and I got to see the x-rays. It looks like this. So while it's a clean break, it's also a pretty nasty one.

Trying to figure out how to do everything one-handed is interesting, though. I woke up this morning and the anesthetic from yesterday finally completely wore off and it was like "oh shit this hurts" so I was trying to get my medicine bottles open (no one else was awake) so that was interesting.

I'm scheduled for lots of checkups to make sure everything heals properly (and the specialist doctor's anesthetic is sooooo much better than the ER's, the nurse was squeezing my finger hard to see if it was numb and I felt nothing) so I'm confident that everything will heal fine, just it's gonna take a long damn time.

I just want the pain to go away a bit, though. The painkillers help but it still hurts a lot, and I've been having trouble sleeping because I'll hit my hand on something on accident which will hurt and wake me up.

My nail came off once and it was very reminiscent of Jeff Goldblum in "The Fly".

ohhhh, thats an interesting break. Also where did you get stitches exactly

OMG, u can sleep, thats great, lol, I could bare sleep, not cause of pain so much. Mostly because i was very tentative about the finger. After the first week they took of the heavy bandage and i only had guaze on it, so that essentially meant that the stitches were all that held my finger together. So i used to sleep very very lightly, plus i had my hand wrapped up in a smal blanket and had it proped up on another pillow. I hardly move when i sleep,

But for you try wrapping the hand in a thick sweater or something, it will cushion the hand.

OMG using one hand is a *****. The worst. THAT damned bra holy crap. lol . I could not use my left hand at all because of the pain, but I had to bare down just to hold one side to clip it. But for the next two weeks, i wore sports bras, lol, nothing to clip. Bathing and washing my hair was quite interesting too, lol. You could PM me to hear bout that oddessy.

Haha, I haven't even tried putting a bra on yet (I was in pajamas when it happened and I've just pretty much stayed in pajamas)...definitely not going to be fun trying to take a shower and stuff though!

I've got stitches around where my nail was, when the door smashed my finger, part of the nail was pushed into the skin and cut it up pretty badly, it was bleeding all over the place.

I'll try wrapping up my hand in a blanket or something while I sleep, that sounds like a good idea.

No Bra?

lucky you, I can't even think bout not going without a bra, breasts too big dammit.
I was in the ER at 8pm and didn't reach home till 3am and i was still in work clothes. I had to figure out some kinda support to wear in order to go to the drugstore in a few hrs.

But try those spandex thingys, I had a tube top thingy, that worked PERFECTLY

OOO tip for a shower, a good poof ( or whatever you call them), one hand can work up a pretty good lather and thats enough to bathe with. LOL I'm in the tropics, SO i had to find a way to bathe, pretty fast

That first bath and change of clothes took over 45 mins. Phew

Hey you got more pics? lol, I never bothered posting mines, unless anyone wants to see.

I smashed my hand at 7:30am, it was still early and I'd just gotten up. The ER was empty when I got there so I was back home by 11:30am I usually never go braless except at night but...just don't have the energy to deal with it. I've got a few tanktops with built in bras so I'll just wear those under my normal clothes for now, I think

Trying to wash my hair will probably be the most annoying part of trying to shower, I think.

I don't have any other pics, but I'm tempted to bring my camera to my next appointment so I can take a pic of what my finger looks like unwrapped, even though it's really gross looking

LOL, I wished i had told my brother to bring the camera to the ER, woulda have gotten some good pics, lol

the pic I took 10 days later looked real bad, middle finger, half was black due to the blood clot, fingers were swollen, etc etc , lol

Get pics, hehe

I can't put my middle finger down.

Wheee, pic! The hole at the base of my middle finger is where they stabbed me for the anesthetic shot. I have a smaller matching hole on the palm of my hand as well...which is a really painful place for a shot. Pic, whee!

Still painful-looking though

Sorry bout your bum digit, princess.

It could have been worse though. Have you seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang?

I broke my right middle finger when I was about 12. I was trying to catch a football and it ran directly into the finger and the second digital joint completely popped out of place.

Owwwww

How's the hand today Lana?

Well Lana, that sucks, but imagine how the door feels.

I got my forehead trapped in a door hinge at my fourth birthday party .. got stitches and now have a Harry Potter scar to prove it.

And then when I was six I fell out of bed, my right front tooth got thrust up into my gum and the other one was hanging by a thread, and then I got anaestetic which apparently 'could've killed me'.

Luckily though, I can't remember any of these incidents, but I'm sure you won't forget very soon.

Good luck with you healing.

La, I saw this in todays Trib, and I couldnt stop laughing.

I did that when I was in middle school, except it was my left ring finger. And I broke my left pinky playing tennis when I was 11.

Woke me up around 8 hurting a hell of a lot, I took some painkillers and fell back to sleep for about 3 hours. It's not too bad right now.

Would you believe this is not the first time I've gotten my hand smashed in a door?

Though last time I was really little and it was my own stupidity that caused it.

This is also only the second time I've gotten stitches.

Oooh, OUCH

How mine broke is the bone is split down the middle at the tip, and then goes off to the side; they x-rayed it again yesterday and I got to see the x-rays. It looks like this. So while it's a clean break, it's also a pretty nasty one.

Trying to figure out how to do everything one-handed is interesting, though. I woke up this morning and the anesthetic from yesterday finally completely wore off and it was like "oh shit this hurts" so I was trying to get my medicine bottles open (no one else was awake) so that was interesting.

I'm scheduled for lots of checkups to make sure everything heals properly (and the specialist doctor's anesthetic is sooooo much better than the ER's, the nurse was squeezing my finger hard to see if it was numb and I felt nothing) so I'm confident that everything will heal fine, just it's gonna take a long damn time.

I just want the pain to go away a bit, though. The painkillers help but it still hurts a lot, and I've been having trouble sleeping because I'll hit my hand on something on accident which will hurt and wake me up. You'll get through it Lana, just think that there are much worse things to have broken.

I've had my forearm, my clavicle (shoulder), my wrist, several fingers, and several toes all broken.

Damn

Worst part of this is that it's going to be a good 3 months before everything's healed - at least.

And I'm supposed to have another job interview this week. This better not **** it up.

Haha, I haven't even tried putting a bra on yet Need a hand?

As I'm kinda short one...



I'll figure out a way to manage

I broke my finger last year it was so weird to type.. do you have to wear one of those stiff things?

A splint? Yeah. I've got a bunch of guaze bandages, the splint, then more bandages.

How's the finger doing Lana??

Had a doctors appointment this morning, it looks nasty but they say it's healing well, it's not really been hurting the past few days, and next week I'm going to get it x-rayed again.

Owie. Hope you're doing alright, and hope it heals up just dandy. I've broken my clavicle before, and that was some of the most intense pain I've ever felt. How, exactly, did you slam your hand in the door?

Spending the morning in the emergency room SUCKS ASS.

Yeah. Got my hand slammed in my bedroom door this morning. It's bleeding everywhere and I nearly threw up and passed out from the blood and the pain.

So I go into the emergency room and get it x-rayed and all that fun stuff. My left middle finger is broken, and the nail is smashed and will fall off, so I need to go see a hand doctor tomorrow from that. And since it was still bleeding more than three hours after it happened, I got three stitches.

Holy **** this hurts so much cry

****, that sounds painful. The description itself almost made ME pass out....Yup, very queasy person over here...shock

I was arguing with my sister. She tried slamming my door shut. My hand was on the door.

****ing ow.

Hmm well did you give your sister a good kick in the ass for that?

*pokes thread*

Well, update on my lovely injury.

The break in the bone is just about completely healed, I haven't had to wear the splint on my finger for a week now.

The nail is still healing and growing in, and I still keep my finger bandaged most of the time to protect it while it's doing that...plus it's just really disgusting looking. Heh.

But it's mostly healed now, it's just going to look really ugly while the nail grows back completely. So yay.

wow, that was fast, lol

sorry cant offer any tips on the nail regrowing though, hehe. But by the end of the year, you'll have a whole nail, i think, lol.
