Finger update

Surgery went well (I guess). Done in an hour. The doctor went into his next surgery so he never even came and talked to me when I woke up.
It hurts. Big surprise.
It's swollen. Really swollen.
I have an appointment tomorrow, but apparently the doctor is on vacation so I get to see his nurse, which means she probably won't be able to even write me a prescription for ibuprofen . . . which I know I can go buy, but the "good stuff" works so much better and faster.
I know it's only been 11 days, but this sucks. I can't do a whole lot. Heather knows what I'm talking about, and her issue is probably worse than mine, so what the hell am I whining for:)
The surgery was on the 13th. I was drugged-up pretty good for five days. Went back to work on the 19th for 4 hours. Same on the 20th. Same today. And all I can do is point to where the paper should go, order supplies, email/call vendors, try to help other areas but can't really do much, and go home and ice my hand.
Again, lots of whining here. But for someone who is pretty active and "on-the-move" all they time this is stupid. I can't even pull/dig up weeds, or really do much cleaning around the house. I will say, though, I haven't had to clean the litter box in 11 days which has been divine! (Thanks, Jeremie!)
Ok.
Enough whining.
On a more positive note, I have been able to watch movies and cartoons. And Miriah has spent some time over at our place watching movies with me (it's so awesome now that she can watch more PG-13 movies).
I even watched one of my all-time favorite movies as a kid: The Black Stallion. Love that movie!

It's surprising how much you use YOUR HAND, isn't it? :) H still scoops cat litter, but she doesn't do dishes. Maybe Jeremie and I will have to swap household duties if this continues... : )
