lizbee | Oops.

Last night, I was getting ready for bed, and I tripped over something (my foot, actually) and landed sort of oddly on my thumb, and I felt something snap.

There was no pain or bruising, so I put some ice on it and went to bed. Cut to this morning, when I've woken up to find a sort of hard, painful lump on my thumb and limited mobility. Here, have a picture of the lump. Okay, it just looks like your average knuckle, but that's with my thumb straightened out (as far as it will go, which I'll grant isn't all the way all of a sudden).

So that's great, because it's not as though I use my hands for work or anything. But it doesn't seem too painful to type, and it's not like the keyboard makes much use of the left thumb (...sometimes for the space bar, but I think that's it). I'm going to strap it to the rest of my hand and see how it goes.

I guess, what with our admin assistant having just been made redundant, I could be put on admin duties until it heals. But I'm pretty sure that would call for a pay cut. Bugger. Bugger, bugger, bugger.
