Typing with a purple finger

purple-finger.gifI smashed my finger over the weekend. The pain was so intense that it made me happy. F. Sometimes I use that initial. I said F after the pain.

My wife wanted the treadmill moved from the garage to the basement. A treadmill weighs just under 6000 pounds.

Anyway, every time I type a key that requires the right ring finger, the purple finger, I cry a little.

F.

I talk a lot about Good Pain. That’s when you know you have to go through some pain to end up at a good place. Maybe you have to work through the weekend. Maybe you have to have a tough conversation with someone who doesn’t get it.

Good Pain is unpleasant. Like this finger.

I hear there is nothing you can do for a broken finger. I used a popsicle stick and two Sponge Bob band-aids as a splint. It looked as dumb as it sounds.

    I caught a slipped wrench across the bridge of my nose this weekend...and the reaction caused me to bash my temple.

    I didnt' stop at "F". Nope. Not at all.

    I just smashed my brain or the dates and postings on your blog are all messed up. This is the latest post I see and its dated August 9, 2006. Have I braeched the space/time continuum? Help.

    I went through the same thing when I stubbed my toe and turned it purple. It definitely reminds you to be more careful.
