I have my hand back! After seven weeks in a plaster splint, my hand is finally free. My accident happened in a nonblogging time, so here's the story. I fell down the basement stairs. Headfirst. I can blame it on ice cream. Our upstairs freezer was broken, so I was on my way to the downstairs freezer with a mug in one hand and a spoon in the other. My sock got caught on a tiny nail at the top of the stairs - I fell down the entire flight and my fist slammed onto the tile floor.
I broke the fifth metacarpal bone in my left hand. Not good for a violist! I thought it was just badly bruised at first, and actually played four rehearsals with a broken bone. I couldn't play with my pinky, but I managed to get most of the notes with just three fingers. I was between insurance plans when I fell. I feel lucky that my hand healed well. I had a spiral fracture, and the bones could have buckled or overlapped.
My fingers are stiff and sore now. The splint was cumbersome and irritating, but my fingers were mostly numb from being in the same position for so long. Now that they are free, I'm having some pain again.
It's amazing how long fingernails can grow in two months! I never get to have long nails. I'm eager to get back to my viola, but as long as my fingers wont' bend enough to play I'll enjoy my long nails!Labels: Juice Fast
