@Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @Snowie @Eve7 Thanks for the well wishes and support 🥰
I have the rest of this week off and am grateful for that so I can completely rest my hand. Although my thumb and finger are in splints and I have been careful, I still have to use my hands at work and the slightest bump not only hurts but aggravates the wounds. So with 4 days now to completely rest my hand, it should begin to heal up better. On the plus side, I can catch up on some paperwork and planning bit by bit. No work around the house for a while though which is going to be frustrating but it is supposed to rain here for the next few days so I wouldn't be able to do much anyway. Lots of couch time and fur baby cuddles - which will be nice.
Sending love to you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Faith-and-Hope @Shaz51 @Emelia8 @tyme My thumb is still very sore but my forefinger is healing. I will be able to take the splint off my forefinger hopefully in a couple of days and just have the dressing on. I am going back to work on Monday which will be a challenge because being home has meant I can have pain relief that I won't take at work because it sometimes causes nausea for a bit. I am missing the kids but I will miss the fur baby snuggles 🐶🐱💕
Tobes really needs a haircut and bath but I can't do either without both hands - he is a worm when it comes to haircuts - he is okay having a bath but I kinda need both hands to dry him.

Hugs @Zoe7 ,
I hope it gets easier for you. I still can't believe such an accident happened!
Please look after yourself. Do you drive to work? Will you still be able to drive?

I can't either @tyme I have hooked up and unhooked my trailer hundreds of times in so many different environments and carrying large loads at times with no drama - just a freak accident that I am not sure how I could have avoided. Luckily, I had gloves on or it could have been so much worse.
I do drive to work but driving is okay. The movement does aggravate my thumb but it is only a short drive so manageable. I am more likely to aggravate it at work with all those little rascals but I do miss them so I am happy to go back and see how I go.
What have you been up to this week?

This week, I've honestly just been pushing through. I'm waiting for the weekend so I can rest up. Then again, I have a little monkey sleeping in my bed tonight. @Zoe7 . I just can't say no.
I think seeing your kids is therapy in itself. lol.
