Change of plans

The day I went for surgery a parcel came with 4 Leslie Sansone dvd's as well as resistance bands

Since it was too hot to walk outside I decided to do the first dvd without using the resistance bands.

Not!!

I don't know whether it was yesterdays heat or a painkiller I took but my stomach is doing somersaults.

So today I'm inhaling gravol and sipping water and basically being a couch potato. Really hope I can do that workout tomorrow!

Here's a picture of my hand, don't look if your squeamish! This is with my hand cupped when it's straight it looks even longer :( 2o+ stitches I'm not allowed to straighten my hand for another 5 weeks.

I was getting the pit out of an avocado the knife slipped and cut the base of my middle finger. Unfortunately I severed 2 tendons, a nerve and an artery!!
When you do that the tendon retracks and a plastic surgeon needs to find it :(
I'm in a splint with bent fingers for 6 weeks, 2x a week hospital therapy and more weeks of therapy after the splint comes off. Yeah it totally sucks

Marla said...

That looks wonderful. I hope you are healing well.

Natasha said...

You know that everytime I'm cutting an avocado now you pop into my head! LOL That looks super sore. Hope it heals up nice and quickly for you and that your stomach settles down.

Miss Felicity said...

Oh wow, that is pretty dramatic! That's crazy. Well, just glad you didnt lose a finger.

Anyways - SPUNKY SUZY, I think you deserve a spunky layout and Im actually having a layout give-away on my site right now, if make a post about my give-away & a few people go over and enter my contest, then you have ALREADY won yourself a custom layout by me!

So waddaya say!!??

Ouch! Sending those healing vibes your way!

I wonder if that'll leave a cool looking scar? I hope it heals fast!

OUCH!!! Feel better suzi!!

Kelly said...

That looks very painful, sister. Flat Coke always settles my stomach. Also try some Seven-Up or Sprite, and saltine crackers. I always keep that stuff in my house.

NewMe said...

Good grief, suzi. I wish you a speedy, successful recovery!

I too had an avocado pit accident a few years ago. Fortunately, my kids were just old enough to leave alone at home (of course, my husband had just left on a business trip!) and I rushed off to the clinic which is only a block away, my hand held high in the air and swaddled in a dish towel.

Those avocados--a lot more dangerous than anyone could imagine.

Get well soon!

Oh my goodness!!!!! I don't know if I'll ever cut into an avocado again! It is so hot that I may go back to my Lesley videos too. I like the 5 miles with resistance bands, although it takes forever.

I hope you heal quickly!

spunkysuzi said...

I still love avocados but I definitely do not use a knife on them!!

I think I'll be more comfortable once the stitches are out next Tuesday.

The splint is very uncomfortable in this heat :(

Your healing thoughts must be working because it is healing really well :) Thanks

Karla said...

Ouch, that looked far worse than I thought it would. Hope that you heal fast and that you're able to try your dvds soon. :)

Dr. Fat To Fit said...

Miss Suzy, your surgeon did an excellent job repairing the butchering of yourself you did. That looks GREAT! Keep up the therapy and exercises. Hope it continues to improve.

I dont eat avocados, now I know why!

Michele said...

Yikes! That looks awful. So, sorry about your accident. I hope it heals well so it will be fully functional. take care.

Brigitte said...

Oh my word girl. I disappear and you try to slice off your fingers. I hope that rehabbing is going well and that is quit the scar!

spunkysuzi said...

It is going to be a nasty scar :(
Good to see you back!
