Title: Broken my pinky !!!
Post by: pikilily on October 20, 2011, 05:11:38 pm

Where's that previous thread on being accident prone??????

I have, today, slipped on the water slopped over the sides of the dogs water-bowl....landed hard on my elbow and bum,  and broken my little finger!!!

I know its broken 'cos i can feel it grinding and its swollen and misshapen, I cant go to A&E cos i need to work tomorrow!! Argh!!

So being a tough old bag i'll just strap it up myself at the weekend and untill then just grin and bear it!!

tough luck eh!

Oh no you poor thing.  Make sure you strap it up properly because I'm guessing you don't want it to mend crooked.  :(

Yeah, don't go to A&E. I broke the middle finger on my left hand, set it myself and it's fine. A year or so later, I broke the ring finger on by right hand, went to A&E (I knew it was broken this time - first time, I just shoved it back into place) and it's set crooked and has a lump in it  ::)

Poor you though - give yourself a treat to make you feel better  :)

Ouch!!

Black and blue for a few weeks then :(

It may only be the pinky - but I am sure you'll notice every time you try and pick something up or catch anything how much you use it :)

Best of luck - get well soon.
