Today at work, I smashed my hand.
It's been 4 hours and it still hurts pretty bad. It was just stupid how I did it! I was pulling a HUGE & HEAVY rack of Mum plants(approximately 60 plants on the rack plus the weight of the metal rack! OUCH!) into the Garden Center and wasn't paying attention. I ended up smashing my hand between the heavy rack and a metal pole!
I broke 2 blood vessels on the top of my hand, but I think I broke some in the palm of my hand too. My fingers are swollen a bit and it hurts to bend my middle finger. I'm sure I didn't break anything...it hurt alot, but not that bad. I'm still typing away tonight, but it aches quite a bit. I told my Store Manager about it right away and stuck some ice on it for the swelling.
I hate to go to the Dr for something as minor as blood vessels being broke. Do you think I could have damaged a tendon? Cracked a bone in the middle of my hand? I didn't smash the whole hand and fingers...my hand was pinned almost right in the center of my hand. Thats why I can't understand why my middle finger hurts so bad...it didn't even touch my fingers.
If it still hurts this bad tomorrow, I'll go to the Doctor. Right now I'm just taking some Advil for the pain and swelling & keeping some ice on it.
I'm really glad that there weren't any customers near me...I said some very inappropriate words when that happened!
