Sticks and stones and broken bones

Well, this is just going to be a short post, well, shorter than the usual posts anyway. As I mentioned in the last post, the DIY and my car repairs are on hold for a little bit, this is mostly due to the fact that I broke my finger 2 months ago. Yes, I did write that correctly, I broke it just over 2 months ago, but I didn't see anyone about it uuntil a couple of weeks ago.

The offending ring finger, still looking swollen Ann slightly misshapen

Now at this point, your probably wondering why I left it over 6 weeks to see a doctor (or ANP, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, because actually seeing a doctor is neigh on impossible), well that's simple, when you get hit in the hand with a cricket ball, its gonna hurt. In my case I failed to catch the thing and took it right on the end of my finger. Que sqwlling and pain, as expected. What want expected was to have said swelling and pain 6 weeks later, or as it stands about 9. After an x-ray, they have confirmed it as broken, an incomplete cortical fracture apparently, but there is nothing they can do, I just have to be careful with it and let it heal.

All this means that heavy lifting and such is probably not a good idea for a few more weeks, so its light duties for a while. I will do a little bit still, and I may do a lot of the marking up and calculations for the tiles, as they need planning. So it went be a total stop on the DIY front, just another slow period!
