Default You never know how handy a body part is...

....until you can't use it!! We got home late on Memorial Day and our cats were meowing to be fed...I gave them food and went to throw the cans away and must have hit the top edge of the garbage and shoved the edge of one of the lids into my left wrist. Word of warning, folks.....cat food can lids are like frickin' razor blades. It cut me VERY badly. I must have hit a small artery....blood was literally pumping out, was all over the floor and counters. We raced to the ER and I ended up getting 6 stitches.

Who knew how handy my left wrist was?? Turns out I use it to brace myself, push off of things, and twist it constantly. I know that because I can't do any of those things now. The stitches are under the pad of my thumb right where my wrist bends....it pulls and hurts to do anything. This means no weight training for awhile....no yoga....no Pilates...even no swimming, because I am supposed to keep it as dry as possible for awhile. PPPBBBFFFFTTTHHH. I also have to keep our 120 pound puppy from chewing on it....that alone is a full-time job, lol.

Beware of those cat food cans!

Poor thing! I know what you're going through. Hope you get well soon. Don't get discouraged that you can't exercise. Just look at it as a "break" like Ross and Rachel! LOL
