This evening I was standing on a chair to reach a high shelf and had a Darwin moment stepping off, and fell backwards and landed on my left hand and my tailbone. After the shock of the impact wore off I looked down at my hand in astonishment. The fingers on my left hand were splayed out at jaunty non-human angles and the bones were crooked inside my flesh!! I pondered for a moment and realized that all my left hand fingers except my little finger and my thumb had been torn out of their sockets and were dislocated. I grabbed the crooked digits yanked hard on the skewed fingers until they straightened out.
Fingers will move (a little) and doesn’t appear anything is broken, thank God. Even after soaking I now have a left hand that is swollen to over twice the size of the right hand. What a day, time for some more Advil.
