Broken or Not?


I decided to paint the bathroom the other day and ended up like this.

I was standing on a little ladder, in the bathtub when Sarah started yelling for help. The little darling had spilled orange soda on my bed and needed help cleaning up. Well I went to step off the ladder on to the side of the tub and missed. With lots of noise, the next thing I knew, I was laying on the floor holding my hand and calling for Sarah to come help me. The main thing I was worried about was getting the paint off the floor. (I had the paint brush in my hand when I fell.) I also fell on top of Emilie. She got paint on her foot, so I called Erin to get Emilie cleaned up. M next concern was getting the paint off the floor and did I get any on my shirt (because, of course I was not wearing a painting shirt).

Well, I didn't know whether or not anything was broken, so Ross got me a brace at the store and I waited to see how it felt the next day. I did end up going to the doctor the next day and after about 4 hours at insta care, there was no obvious break, but the treated it like a break because of where it was hurting. So I have this lovely splint on for 2 weeks. My thumb is totally immobile and I can't move my wrist. It's amazing how much you take opposable thumbs for granted. I am getting a lot of help out of the kids on this one.

Insta cares SUCK. So where exactly is it broken? I am so sad, I am calling you now.
