My silence

At the beginning of 2022, two of my resolutions were to get on the air
more and post here more. As John Lennon wrote, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."
On January 12th, I had a little accident at work:
I cut the back of back of my third (middle) finger on my left hand, between
the hand and the first knuckle. Not only did I require five stitches, I
also severed the tendon.
I was cutting open a plastic bag containing rolls of bubble wrap, turned my head for half a second and sliced myself, and the rest is history. I went
to a MediMerge where they stitched me up. I have some more graphic photos
that I won't post here out of consideration for those with weak
constitutions.
I required surgery, which was done on January 27th. The Hand Specialist reattached the ends of the tendon and put some pins in place (temporarily)
to prevent me from bending the finger.
I'm currently wearing this hard plastic splint which has relegated me to
the world of one-handedness. Luckily, my right hand is my dominant hand,
but it's still a not deluxe situation. I see the surgeon tomorrow for a
follow up visit and will find out more how long it will be before stitches
and pins are removed.
Until I get somewhere back to normal, my blogging will probably be on the
light side. Just wanted you to all know that I haven't disappeared or gone anywhere, I'm just not 100% right now.
