Another auwie
Apparently it's one of those weeks: today I sustained another* injury at work. I should've just stuck to my real job...
I was moving stacks of paper to their designated shelfs. This of course caused several papercuts, but that's something you get used to. What I didn't expect to happen was getting my thumb stuck behind a pile of boxes and then pushing said boxes against the folding machine, thereby crushing my thumb in between. Despite the pain I didn't think it was that bad, but then my thumb started to swell and it looked seriously crooked. I held it under cold water, which numbed the pain a bit, but still: AUW! Since I was able to bend the thumb, I continued working, trying to not use it too much. I also stayed far away from the paper area. I think I'm a lot safer if I stay close to my Mac. I'll let others do the heavy work from now on.
My thumb is still swolen and sore. Plus there is now a big bruise on it. Tonight I discovered I actually do quite a lot of things with my left hand. Like opening jars or picking up a glass and holding the remote control. Luckily I can type without using my thumb:)
*My bottomlip has healed, I am now able to have a snog again (anyone? Bueller?).
