Finger not broken but still effed up. Have one of those finger holder thingys that you tape on. Makes washing dishes/walking the dawg, driving, swimming, etc. difficult. It really is swollen.
However.
They x-rayed it. So beautiful to see the bones in my hand. With minor degenerative changes. Yup. Sprained it.
Feeling old and achey and tired. Banged up. Time for a massage.
There is a wee magnolia tree planted in my front yard.
The dogwood, coral bark maple and styrax await planting, along with hostas and hydrangeas and ferns and a crab apple.
I love the plant world. The world of plants. Even the weeds. So dependable.

I'm sorry to hear about your hand. Start taking CBD. I'm reading about its effects on arthritis -- anti-inflammatory.
I love the photo of the leaves on the grass. So beautiful.
Oh to live in a place where you can just start taking CBD without breaking the law! I think Elizabeth might have a very good idea.
Sometimes, as you know, soft tissue injury can be more trouble than a bone break.
Yesterday I put a pot-bound bird's nest fern in a bigger pot and as I walked away, I could almost hear it sigh with relief, stretching out its roots.
I could not live in a place where I did not have plants to tend, both those in the real dirt and in pots. They are part of my life and a very good part.
Hope the swelling will go soon. Get yourself some dishwasher fairies in?
Fingers hurt so much more I find.
Oh and medicinal frankinsense oil has been shown to be a potent anti inflammatory for all types of arthritic and rheumatoid joint inflammations. Just in case you cannot get hold of CBC.
Thanks ladies-
On the couch with ice and ibuprofen.
