Incident

About two weeks ago at the library I went out to get the book drop and I was opening the door like normal and somehow I was inside the building before my hand that was in the door handle.  It pulled two of my fingers back. There wasn’t an immediate pain but it did hurt.  I went to the circulation desk and told my coworker what I did.  I was going to take my break and find some ice to put on it.  I didn’t immediately find any ice and one of the nicest patrons offered to bring me an ice pack that she keeps in her car.  I did eventually find something in the freezer to use.  I could tell it was starting to bruise but I was able to move it and I wasn’t too worried about it.  

The next day it was really hurting and I was going to be working five hours but I knew I could work through it.  At work I mentioned it to my supervisor and she said asked if I had filled out an incident report.  I hadn’t filled one out.  So I talked to the manager and I filled out the form and he took it over to HR.  Then they all pretty much demanded that I go to urgent care and get it checked out.  “Are you serious?!”

Since I was unable to convince them that I didn’t need to go to the doctor I called the urgent care and I would be able to see the doctor later that afternoon.  This doctor is one of the sweetest doctors ever.  I wish she was my primary doctor.  She came in the room and was like “I know you.” “Yes, you did my pre-work physical and you know my mom and dad.” So she looked at my hand and wanted to have an x-ray to see if it was broken. On a side note I was hoping the x-ray technician would be a young cute guy, but no such luck. He was more like middle aged.  Luckily, it was not broken, but I did have to wear a lovely cast type thing for a week but, in actuality I was not very good about wearing it.  I went back to the doctor yesterday morning before work to have it looked at one more time before I was released back to full duty at work.  It was feeling much better so I no longer have to wear the cast thing.  :)

My song for the day.
