So I can tell you that I did have the full bandage wrap on for the entire day yesterday. This surpassed my own expectations, but I recognize that the rest of the mature adult world may be less in awe of my limited (nonexistent) restraint. This is especially true given that at two minutes past midnight, I simply couldn’t take it anymore. Poof be gone gnarly germ harbor pretending to protect me!
Incredibly my husband is still speaking to me, but he did go out of his way this afternoon to tell several of our new neighbors that it was a giant nicotine patch for my raging habit. (It’s a big band-aid, but it does appear patchy-esque.) That didn’t really explain the other even sketchier hand, so no telling what they think of me now. In all fairness, it’s just a matter of time before they know what a mega mess I am in general anyway.
Ironically the IV hand hurts more than the one that had the actual surgery. Is there anything to do after a rough IV job? At this point, I’m planning on telling people that I’m one of the few barehanded female boxers in the state but that I did not fare well at my latest event.
***Ahem – slight revision to hand explanation per https://mainepaperpusher.wordpress.com – I’m one of the few barehanded female boxers in the state. You should see how the other girl fared in our latest match. Ding ding baby! π

I deserved much worse so I just rolled my eyes and laughed!

Wow, it looks like they blew a vein. I had that happen once when being prepped for an MRI. Took over a week for it to look somewhat normal. I know it hurts. Hey, if you tell them that you are a bare-handed boxer you should NOT tell them that you didnβt have a good match. Tell them that your match was excellent. After all, if your hand looks like this, imagine what your opponentβs face must look like! Get all typey soon! Doing the blog gig without fingers has to be yuck.

You’re right! That’s a much better tale!! πππ

I knew you could do it kid. Now if you could just get over your nasty habitβ¦..
Jul 31, 2017 @ 06:57:01

Somewhere my brace soldier, there’s a lesson in this. Probably to gag husband before hand surgery.
Jul 31, 2017 @ 08:16:58
Why aren’t you my neighbor? We are MFEO. Lol
Jul 31, 2017 @ 08:35:41
At least we found each other virtually!
Jul 31, 2017 @ 09:00:41
Yes! π€π€π€

I take better I.V s girl. Rare blown out veins
Jul 31, 2017 @ 08:15:55
Honestly I was surprised that it happened. I have meaty veins any vampire would be thrilled to see. I do get nervous though so I was probably jittery when she set it. At least I have a good boxing story now. π
Jul 31, 2017 @ 09:49:57
I felt a bit squiffy looking at your blown veins, but then, I feel squiffy looking at my non-blown veins. π
Jul 31, 2017 @ 08:55:25
Don’t even get me started on THAT!
Jul 31, 2017 @ 10:06:24
Well, you two got that covered! HA! And they say marriage is not bliss… feel better. ~Kim
Jul 31, 2017 @ 10:07:43
Those people do not know the sheer joy of misbehaving, being made fun of for your nonsense, and then laughing about it anyway (…after you leave the doghouse you were parked in for a bit…). π
Aug 02, 2017 @ 08:53:03
I’m not surprised that you removed it. I hope you are healing quickly and behaving yourself and babying that hand. Please, tell me you are giving yourself healing time dear one! xo
Aug 08, 2017 @ 15:14:58
It’s as if you can sense that I am impatient. Or immature. Or both. Yes. You are wise. π
Aug 09, 2017 @ 09:55:10
As are you! xo
