OUCH!!!

I am no hand model but I do rely on my hand to paint!
Last night trying to get everyone out the door for Curling and Ice Skating I got my finger caught underneath the microwave and ripped half of my fingernail out of place-OOOOOOUCH.
I will not show you that photo.
So needless to say we ended up at the Doctor's office because the bottom part of the nail was on top of the cuticle.  They numbed the area then tried to push the nail back in place so that a new nail will follow the track and grow back in the right place.
It took two Nurse Practitioners about 6 times to try this and the Novocaine kept wearing off.  Can we all say THROBBING pain!!  Now I cannot get this wet for three to four days-yea no washing the dishes!!
By 10:30 we were finally home...the funniest part of all of this was that I was not charged money for the swear jar and just yesterday I received two huge custom orders!?!
Enjoy your weekend-I see sleep and a pain pill in mine.

  8. OMG! That must hurt so bad, Barb. I got
    squeamish just imagining it. The good
    part is no dish washing. I don't know
    how you're going to paint, though...
    Hugs,
    Susan

  11. Oh no! You're not a hand model, but you could have your hands insured, because you are an artist and need them for your profession, including nursing.
    I know practioners gotta start somewhere, but OMGosh the pain they can cause us. I've had a few just learning how to find a vein... ouchie!

  12. Ooooh, I am sitting here cringing just thinking about what you are going through. Hope it heals quickly. I don't know what's worse, the pain, or not being able to do anything.
    Hugs,
