@qualitygal I am so sorry about your fall, and sprained hand. I am going on one and a half months with a sprained pinky finger, and it's no picnic. All of the skin from the first knuckle forward that was sprained peeled off, so the skin is red raw but healing.

Try not to whack your hand, the pain is unbelievable, lots of hopping around here, lol, and a few cuss words. I used SportsGel on the finger until the painful throbbing subsided, about a week or so, and Ibuprofen, took four at a time for me, and that lasted a few weeks. Now, my finger will resemble the sprained toes of years ago, bent.

I feel your pain. I'm so sorry you are injured. A year ago I fell broke my ankle and my finger. Wore a boot and a splint for eight weeks. Both were very painful. Feel better soon!

@qualitygal I, too send good thoughts to you for a good recovery from your fracture..Hopefully, a sling & some good meds will get you going again..as a lefty, I will send you some thoughts to learn your left-handed skills..take care.

So sorry to hear about you fall and fx. That's one rather tough bone, so you must have landed on it just right. And your dominant arm as well. Yikes! Hope you heal well and fast and that your upcoming appt goes well.

(The must be the season for fractures. So many abound. Just a few weeks ago, fx'd my ankle and one bone in my foot, dropped a metatarsal head, and pulled 4 ligaments. What did I do? Just ran into the corner of the bed going heck-bent for leather in the bedroom. Silly me!)

Take care and don't over-do with your right hand/arm.

@highmaintenancejan

Hi Jan.

Just can't believe you're still having such a time sleeping. Is it due to continues pain? Weird, but I just saw something like a FB ad a few days ago about how to sleep with rotator cuff pain, etc.

I really hope your physician has some real help and answers for you. Please email me and let me know. Things not good on the home front. Will tell you about it via email.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Not only do falls hurt, they can be disorienting for a bit.

Several years ago I also broke my right humorous bone, I'm RT handed too. Was in a cast for 8 weeks. When the swelling went down I was able to do most things, except shower, wash hair, style hair, dress, put on M/U, and eat without help! Did finally learn to go potty alone. Just a bit of humor. I know you feel bad.

I broke mine falling out of bed which sounds so much more exciting than it actually was.

Wishing you the Best!
