Hand update, now with added hummus!

[scarlettina]

Unbandaged, my left hand tells a peculiar story. It is swollen. On the knuckle side, it's discolored, as though I've been in a prize fight. On the palm side? It looks as though I'm about to bloom with stigmata--yeah. Me and Padre Pio. ::sigh:: I'm typing with my right hand and my left pointer finger. It's...interesting.

Via e_bourne I offer you the latest

Kebab, hummus, and pita: The meal made to share. There's something to that, yeah.

(The "whirled (chick)peas" joke is just waiting to be made...)

My Hebrew prof believed it was falafel that could bring peace to the Middle East, but I doubt he'd argue with hummus doing the job.

Still on for Thursday?

How is the motion through the knuckles? Can you take anti-inflammatories like naproxen/Aleve?

I wish you speedy healing.

Motion through the knuckles is a little constricted by swelling, but it's there. Mostly, it just hurts a lot. I've got the hand wrapped, and iced it on and off for 48 hours. Now, it's just wrapped. Wondering when/if I should start heat.
