Broken wrist update
13 years ago
Went to the hospital earlier, got x-rayed and all that shit. Apparently it's not a broken wrist, but I've done serious damage to the ligaments throughout my hand. Which is annoying because it means I've got no broken bones and no excuse not to go back to work.
This invariably means that because I've got large portions of my hand strapped together, I'm going to end up lumped with the part of my job I hate the most because I can't use my hands fully.
I wish it had been a proper break, because then at least it's a real injury rather than some shitty one thats easy to write off as being fake or made up to avoid working. But I've been told to keep it mobile, which means going to work even if changing gears in the car hurts like fuck.
So, great.

My condolences. At least you didn't break it?? I don't know, the way you put it, it might not be better that way...

Breaking it would have been better. No question. Instead of avoiding having to go to work, instead I've ended up guaranteeing I have to do the part of it i really hate for weeks.

Ligament damage can be shittier than a broken bone in many ways, I hope you recover quickly.

Ouch. Both for the actual wrist and the situation.
