So I did this a few hours ago…

It merited a trip to the big ER at Union Memorial and the Curtis National Hand Center within. The big ugly (I mean Really ugly) bruise on the pad of the first segment of that finger made me afraid I’d broken the bone there. But x-rays showed no bone damage. I was diagnosed as having a blood blister under the skin.

Serves me right for working with a sledge hammer when I’m tired, I’m irritable, and my Parkinson’s addled left hand can’t hold anything steady.
