So in all the craziness going on I went to open my car door. It was cold and somehow I hyperextended the ligaments or something, in my right hand. The middle finger and the next to last finger are black and blue and hurt like crazy. I can’t make a fist and I try to hold the fingers up so they won’t throb. When I hold them up as I sit, I look like I might have had a stroke. Since I hold them straight, they naturally bang into everything from the turn signal apparatus to the faucets in the sink. That hurts too. So I have been relatively free from pain until now and now this hurts, and I have lost half my vocabulary as well.
