Today, sometime in the midday, I walked upstairs and jammed my pinky finger on the banister. All the way back in the seventh grade, I broke my finger. Shockingly enough, it took almost four years before I could feel the weather a-comin' in that finger. (yes, if you did the math, you realize I was twelve when I did it and sixteen when it started reacting to weather).
Then, about ten minutes ago, I trudged outside with the big dog to let her out in the yard (they don't go out alone, we don't have a fenced yard) and I jammed the same fucking pinky finger on the grill (its a fairly recent purchase and its much bigger than the grill we used to have there). It was dark and I didn't even see it.
Cue the string of swear words that echoed into the darkness. I'm sure my neighbors appreciated that.
Now I have a slightly swollen pinky finger and a sharp stabbing pain all the way into my wrist and shooting toward my elbow.
Such is my fibro. I'm sussing this out as I go along. Things that hurt but fade away on a normal person- like jamming a finger- tend to linger and cause me pain for about two days. I may well wake up with a very swollen finger tomorrow morning.

That stinks Maybe the pinky is trying to escape and make a run for it? But really, I'm sorry to hear. I hope it doesn't interfere over the next few days for you.

Too bad it wasn't your middle finger. Think of the FUN you could have had with that one. I blame the grill, it jumped out and attacked you when you weren't looking. I bet it is league with the dogs..... But what swear words did you use? Curious minds want to know!

This is when you bust into the song "I've been so mad lately" by Butt Trumpet. If you have not heard this song, find it and give it a listen. Or just look up the lyrics. I know it's on youtube though. The first few lines of the song always come to mind when I'm pissed or in "instant" pain (i.e. just injured myself again.) I have the same sort of problem with pain lingering. For me, surface wounds linger worst. Things like papercuts and cardboard cuts that are a commonplace hazard at work. I got a box cut along my fingernail and tip of my index finger this morning. It's still throbbing and hurts to the touch. Probably will for a few days.

Swear words came out loudly like: "Son of a fucking bitch! Mother fucker cow sucking whore! What the fuck!"
By the third "fuck", I realized it was echoing.
