OK. When will the blog entry be short.
Recall , this element of the blogoshpere was ' two sentence blogging ' at one time. Oh , where have those days gone.
Day 2 : sprained thumb CRAP , nothing has really improved.
Well, my bandage wrap cum splint is getting a little more sophisticated - as in more of a custom job. Looks ugly , sloppy but comfortable and efficient. Support but not too rigid.
The wrap affair is a ' ace bandage ' , stretchy kind w/ folded order form , shaped to be a thumb splint , and the thumb splint is held to the thumb by a velcro mini - belt that was originally for a finger flashlight. Always feels good when you hoard and then recycle.
I may be developing forearm strain above the bandage from trying to work the arm w/out wrist or thumb on that side. Figures , right ?
And all I see are the jobs that I should be doing.
So, why didn't you do them before , dunno ?
On the net under Google for thumb sprain : ice for 2 - 3 days check
Splint or bandage for 2 weeks check Wait - 2 weeks ??? You are joking , right ?
A light bandage / splint may be needed for support for a further 2 - 3 weeks, - oh yeah, can see that coming true. I'll re-sprain the thumb before that happens.
Bonus: If I can launch the boat , at least I can fish right handed and turn the crank handle on the reel lefty.
Weather holds as per yesterday - perfectamundo.
