The injury came from repeatedly lifting a mouse to move a cursor across a large monitor. Envision picking up a mouse w/ the thumb & pinky finger while pressing the select button to "hold" some text, and scrolling that mouse over & over a mouse pad to get the cursor from one corner of the screen to the other. Yeah, I suppose the movement ratio wasn't set right!
And yay for dorkiness. I did indeed slap my hand on my bed scanner & fumbled the mouse with my left hand to hit "scan." Anything to entertain you peeps! XD
Man, can you tell I haven't been keeping up with my LJs???
Your splint looks funky, mine was a horrible pink plastic thing which moulded over my hand when it was hot. Unfortunately now it's completely destroyed by constant use and is lying forlornly in the back of one of my drawers.
*ouch* @ nipple tick - though in saying that I think I would have gleefully pulled one of those off Dale and giggled like a maniac doing so.
I also had a funky molded splint (mine was white though). That was the one I wore constantly; my love life hand benefitted immensely. The one in this pick was the "less restrictive" splint, and it has a molded support in a slot along my thumb. I hate it b/c it just doesn't look as cool as the other one (which finally broke in half).
Ewwww.... I can't pull a tick off of Dave. They take a wee hunk of flesh with them. Tres skwikie. I hear though that swabbing them w/ liquid soap for 15 minutes makes them fall right off.
Try alcohol of some sort. No, not for drinking - for the tick! We have ticks here that latch themselves on to livestock and swell up to immense proportions and sometimes they like to feed off hoooomans too. Basically, if you don't have rubbing alcohol then use a highly alcoholic drink like cognac, either douse cotton wool in same and press it on the tick or dribble said alcohol over tick and eventually you should be able to pick them off without nasty bits left behind or chunks of flesh as well.
Alcohol is so versatile.
I kinda miss my splint too at times. Though it was pretty icky looking at the end because it's the kind of permeable plastic that'll soak up any sort of stain. There's still a yellowish patch on it where I dropped some curry on one night.

LMAO! Yeah, I loved how my splint accumulated the residues of past mistakes and indiscretions... XD
