Ouch, how did you do that?

MamaGlamourPuss · 30/09/2006 17:28

oh Allie so for you, which finger?

It's going to be VERY difficult to trim your minge now

Flossam · 30/09/2006 17:29

Have you been to A&E?

MamaGlamourPuss · 30/09/2006 17:32

are you referring to your finger or your minge when you say you shut it in the car door?

sorry, sorry! It does sound awful, really awful, have you had it checked out properly?

AllieBongo · 30/09/2006 18:01

yes i went to my surgery. All they can do is tape it to my ring finger. We had got back from hols the night before so I had shed loads of washing, a manky finger, and turned 30 all in one crapola week

It's a right bugger. I broke various fingers on a regular basis playing basketball. And it doesn't get you nearly enough sympathy I reckon. Unless there's a cast, no-one thinks of a broken bone.

i know what you mean..dh is moaning as he has to do everything..welcome to my world i say

AllieBongo · 30/09/2006 19:18

We'll forgive you if you type like Cod.

Flossam · 30/09/2006 20:17

i'd give anything not to have a cast! as it is my entire hand is out of action and could possibly be this way for 6 weeks! ab- have you tried soaking it in warm water, then cold and warm again? also keep it elevated for swelling.

Highlander · 30/09/2006 20:36

OMG, trapping it in a car door sounds bloody painful
