Damnit!
Alright, I told a couple of you on chat about the finger fiasco a while ago. In short, for non-chatting members:
I used to play bass guitar, but I stopped, and have since lost my callouses. Well, I was sitting in on bass for my friend's band, trying to play like I used to when I had callouses, and I rocked out a little too hard. I ended up with MASSIVE blood blisters on three fingers. None of them have completely healed up yet, but I can use all of those fine.
But, I have a new problem:
I have typed all of this without the use of my ring finger. During my basketball game yesterday, I blocked a kid's shot, and apparently did it wrong. I immediately knew something was wrong, but I played the rest of the quarter (1st quarter). I sat the second quarter, and went to the bathroom, put it in ice-cold water, and had to set it myself
When I returned, I resumed playing. I took a rebound (OW!), I blocked a shot (OUCH!), I got a steal (YOW!), and sucked on my finger (now swollen to twice its normal size) at every break. I played the rest of the game, and now I'm trying to learn how to do everything without my ring finger on my left hand (and I'm left-handed!).
A girl tried to hold my hand yesterday. She grabbed my left hand while we were walking, and I jumped back and yelled out. I explained, but that was awkward with a capital A! Damn.
God damnit. The fingers! The fingers!
