Two Weeks After Hand Surgery

I can type a bit now, but it's still painful to peck at the keys properly. If I try to do the one-finger thing, my hand curls up and it hurts like hell to uncurl it. Right or wrong - it still hurts to use my right hand.


Of all the things I miss doing with both hands, I miss drawing and painting the most. It has become a pain in the ass to wrap my hand in a plastic bag everytime I shower. Worse yet, is having to change the bandages every single day. The toughest part of all this is having to take the antibiotics. Those things smell nasty, and they turn my stomach if I don't eat something when I gulp down those pills. I'm sure they're helping me heal, but they're a pain in the ass, too.


Strange as it may sound, I hope I can go back to work next week. I'm worried about this next pay period. I have a feeling I won't get a paycheck, and my rent is due on the 1st. I'm still waiting for the paperwork so I can get some sort of pay for the time I'm away from work. But I imagine that will take its sweet time to be processed. I fucking hate red tape!


Bummer.

Photo from FL

Looks like my FL buds got a new camera, and they sent me this photo. Vintage! I wonder if the sleeper still works... Hmmm... only ONE way to find out!

Thanks for the photo, guys!
