See details on prizes and how to enter on my News & Events Page. Remember you still have time to enter my giveaway, but time is running out. New books, a fractured finger and learning to type with nine fingers. But what a way to get a book sale!īut then when I got home, the UPS man brought a carton or two of my new book, Murder Is No Accident. Oh, the doctor did say she liked to read and would love to read one of my books. Got to find the positive in this somewhere. Maybe typing slowly will give me extra time to think up ideas for my story. But here I am typing, albeit slowly, with a splint on my finger. I have a deadline! That’s bad and they really did sound sympathetic, but they still put a splint on my finger. Wait a minute! I can’t type with a splint. Once the ring was out of the way and the finger was nicely bleeding again from the struggle, they cleaned it and gave me many shots before the very nice doctor put in 3 stitches. I said sure, but not with one over 50 years old. The doctor asked if I couldn’t replace the ring. But somehow by using a lot of liquid soap and cold water I got it off before they found their ring cutters. It takes a lot of soaping to get it off at the best of times and this wasn’t the best of times. Cracked in several places, but no bones floating around. The girl who does them says, “Oh yeah, it’s broken. Me, I’m worrying about bleeding on their floor. More sick people come in and have my husband worrying about catching something. Thank goodness they opened one recently here in our town. So after waiting around to be sure they couldn’t work out a way to take care of me, the nice woman sends me off to the Urgent Care Treatment place. But their x-ray technician is off for the day. The PA looks at it and says she can’t stitch it up without an x-ray to be sure it’s not broken. And there was that problem of not stopping bleeding. Those crazy sites kept saying if it looked this or that way (and it did), go to the doctor. Isn’t that what you always do? Google it to find answers. So I googled how to treat mashed fingers. But the mashed open cut keeps bleeding and it looked pretty bad and I do depend on my fingers for a lot. Think I can just bandage it up and all will be hunky dory. Show it to my husband in a bid for sympathy. Got to get in those steps! I put peroxide on it. So back to the house I come, after I finish my walk, of course. Blood dripping in the mud and everything. I just know I ended up on the ground with a nasty, very smashed finger. Somehow my finger got smashed by the weights I was carrying. I was zooming right along, carrying my weights to give my walk a little extra oomph. But he was game, even if he took a few shortcuts. Oscar’s arthritis was giving him fits but he came along, limping a bit. Meaning, of course, that plans often go awry. What is it they say? Best laid plans of mice and men. I’d had a pretty good morning writing and was looking forward to a good afternoon getting more words down. And nearby communities had it worse than us.īut then the storm passed on to the southeast and so, as I am a dedicated walker, I put on my old shoes and headed out with my dog, Oscar. First off this morning, March definitely came in like a lion around here with storms and winds.
