Azdeus Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 And now a ride in the back of a cop car for a psych evaluation at the hospital. I hope you get better soon Calax. Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

Lexx Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 So, today was my last session of occupational therapy for my right hand. Turns out I have a strength of 19,2kg in my right hand. 37kg is considered normal for people of my age. This will still take a while to recover... Tomorrow the last date with the doctor, then next week I finally will be working again. Damn, that's 13 weeks of doing nothing now. Time to do something useful again.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for a living that caused you to be off because of a broken hand?

Lexx Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) First 2 weeks was regular holidays. Then I had a normal plastic cast for 2 weeks- here they then noticed that the fracture got worse and I'll need to have the medical intervention or my finger bones might rotate and become out of alignment. After the operation happened I got a cast for another full 3 weeks. The doctor said it is a very instable fracture and then I had additional 3 weeks to recover: Gaining back the ability to move my fingers, make a fist, etc. It took me approx 1 week to reach this, since then I am pretty much just training to move my fingers + waiting for the swell to get away. I am an office clerk who writes a lot through the day and I am right hander, so obviously I was unable to do pretty much anything. I couldn't even work with telephone only, because I'll have to make notes all the time. I mean, I *could* do this with only the left hand too, but it would be really slow and tedious over the day. So yeah, it's better (and less painful) to let the hand heal correctly in my case. Rule of thumb: Better don't break your hand. It's not worth it, because in all of the free time you can do only little anyway. Well, except if you love to watch tv or such things. /Edit: The only good thing was that it is really, really easy to get into a talk with girls if you have a huge cast around your hand. It looks painful and pretty much everyone approached me because of it. Edited September 18, 2014 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Woldan Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I'm working in an office too and I know that if I couldn't work because of a broken hand I'd be fired within 3 weeks. Anyway, what I did: went cycling, completely obliterated 10 or so cyclists with their stupid E-bikes, uphill and downhill. Those stupid electronic bikes are against everything sport stands for, whenever I see one in front of me I get a significant rage-induced power boost and overtake them like a jet fighter. What a stupid invention, if you are too f*cked up to use a normal bicycle get in shape or buy a motorbike and stop pretending that you're cycling for gods sake.

Lexx Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) I'm working in an office too and I know that if I couldn't work because of a broken hand I'd be fired within 3 weeks. Indeed, would've been possible for me too. Had some good luck, though: After my 2 weeks of vacation my boss started her 5 weeks of vacation, so in this time not much happened. Then it was planned for me to be on sick leave only for 1 more week, so it would be stupid to look for someone new. Of course the doc added a few more weeks after that... but then it wasn't really worth it anymore to replace me. Beside this, it is not exactly easy to find someone for this kind of job (it is logistic with a very short schedule time. We pretty much manage medical delieveries from today to tomorrow and they already tried for a while to find a new co-worker. The job can be very stressful at times). Also it requires at least 1 month of training until you can *really* start to work on your own. I was working on my own already after approx 2 weeks, as I am a fast learner. :> All of this helped me to keep the job, and I am happy about it. It's good pay and I actually like the job. It's the best job I've had in the past 7 years. Loosing it probably would have pushed me right back into depression-town. @E-Bikes: Maybe they only cycle for the chilling & landscape and less for sports? Though, I've also seen only old people with E-Bikes so far. Edited September 18, 2014 by Lexx "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Calax Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Welcome back man, what's up? I'm tired as heck because they had me on hourly vitals so Every hour at night they checked my pulse and my temperature. Also they were worried about seizures so I had to sleep in the "secure" section (basically a dolled up jail cell) on a mattress on the floor because they didn't have any medical beds that would hold me in the bed if I had a seizure. Today it took five hours to see a psyciatrist and the doc basically said "Well, you seem to be doing better so I'm gonna get you discharged". Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Woldan Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) I'm off to the hospital, woke up with sharp pain in my upper lungs (behind the sternum), have troubles breathing and I'm very tired, also dizzy. I'm very sure its mild pneumothorax (air in chest cavity, that is what makes the lung shot so dangerous ). Which apparently can happen spontaneously to anyone for no reason at all, no injury or illness required. It just happens sometimes. Bah, I hate hospitals. They're full of ugly things.
