just a scratch?
another restless night. i don't know if my hand was actually hurting, and keeping me awake, or if i was dreaming that my hand was hurting and keeping me awake.
it's weird. it hurts now maybe kind of almost more than it did the day of the trauma. is it the healing process that's painful?
no way sagan could have fractured any of those wee bones in my little mitt there, eh? (the contusion, on the proximal medial dorsal aspect of the metacarpals, or something, still smarts too but doesn't photograph well.) i doubt it. but the prolonged pain is a little disconcerting. i'm left-hand dominant here! (which is why these photos are not so good. my right hand's useless - and not even injured!)

Ohmygosh, put some Neosporin on that!
I'm left-hand-dominant too, so I feel your pain. Figuratively, at least.
if it continues to throb, RUN (don't walk) to your doctor.
i recently had a co-worker *die* of a scratch on his leg. it had gotten a strep infection.
i am terrified of scratches now. take care of yourself!
Clearly, self-administered amputation is your only option.
gosh. such an outpouring of support! i'm overwhelmed.
weird how the photos show the bruise by the scratch, and i am unable to see that discoloration with my naked eye. my actual finger doesn't look as nasty when it's right in front of me.
promise. plus it doesn't hurt. i think i must have been sleeping on top of it or something.
