Memorial Weekend
We put the last of Jackie's floor in yesterday and went to Home Depot to get baseboards. Got the boards (and nails), brought those home and then went to Walmart for cat food and got makings for a rib dinner with hot German potato salad, ma. Going to give it a try
came home and I went in the front door and around to the screen porch to let Jackie in. I started to rush Oscar off the porch and slipped on a fragment of the wood flooring and fell really hard. I tried to tuck my arm and ended up landing with my fingers out and bent right over backwards, then hit on the elbow and knee.
I scared Jackie, she heard me fall and found me lying on the floor clutching my hand. We hit it with ice immediately and a naproxin (a codeine was added later - took my nightly dose early). Ow to the ow!
By late last night I couldn't see my knuckles but I could move the fingers, hand, wrist and arm.
This morning it was still a little swollen but not as bad and I can move the fingers easier. At the afternoon it's swollen a little from infrequent use from cooking and doing dishes. Jackie really kicked in and helped with the cooking a lot.
Still - ow
