Bad Days
« on: April 22, 2012, 02:19:15 am »
I've had a terrible 2 or 3 days.  Firstly I had to drive my youngest daughter to Hospital on Thursday night because her husband and hospitals just don't mix.  Left there at 2.00am in the morning, had to leave my daughter there.  My husband collected the grandchildren at 6.30 the next day so that I could look after them because they had a day off school.  I was busy running around getting something for one of them when I fell over a cord and hurt my hand.  I decided that nothing was broken and even though it hurt quite a bit I carried on as usual.  Took the kids to see their mum and had to leave her there another night.  Got up yesterday and I had this big fat swollen hand that I can't do much with.  Daughters out of hospital now and I have a doctors appointment tomorrow. I really hope I have not done to much damage and that it IS just swollen.

I hope so to Marg, but a fat swollen hand isn't a good indicator you may have broken one of those little bones. Be careful girl and I hope your daughter is doing well and getting back on her own feet.

Sorry to hear you hurt your hand, Marg.  Let us know what the doc says.  Glad to hear your daughter is out of the hospital and doing better.  Tell your son-in-law from me to take a big boy pill.  Grown ups sometimes have to do things they don't want to.

Oh Marg, I so sorry.  When it rains it pours.  Happy to hear your daughter is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery.  Give SIL a boot in the shorts and tell him to get over the Hospital averstion.  Have you tried soaking your hand in a bucket of water and ice?  It should help take some of the swelling down till you see the doctor.

God Bless, Chels

Sorry for your troubles. Guess they keep us humble enough to appreciate the good times.
Keep us posted on the hand.  Cold water and deep breaths.  Glad your daughter is better.

Take it from ol' Doc ED....ICE it! Keep that swelling down and take some asprinor similar until you get to the Dr.

Hope it ain't broke so he don't have to fix it!

Sorry to hear of all your bad luck. I hope things turn around for you and your family soon. Keep ice to your hand to being the swelling down. . You do not need nerve damage on top of everything else
