The One Where I Get a Hand Job

by

I had to have minor surgery on my left hand to remove a weird bump. The bump was near my middle finger, but the doctor says it should not affect my ability to flip people off.

Things are not as bad as they appear.

I wrote a few posts in advance so blogging won’t be too slowed down, but I might not be commenting on your blogs as much as usual for a couple of days. To console you, I was going to provide a musical interlude featuring Eric “Slow Hand” Clapton but I decided this was so much more fabulous … ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty!

Tomorrow’s post will be on my new blog instead of here.

  1. Hi Wendy!
    Oh, I´m so sorry to read and see your photo of your hands!!!!
    Wishing you all my very best! Hope it doesn´t hurt!

  2. Do you know that we saw that photo and thought, "Oh, our gosh!", whatever happened to Miss Wendy?
    (Heh-heh-heh.)

    PS: You must know we both hope you are doing okay, The Consort & I send "Feel better" thoughts and a hug your way. 🙂

  3. Hope it's not too painful and you recover quickly.

    Flip away that birdie.

  5. I hope you feel better soon. I know how long it takes to heal, my best friend had a lump removed from her hand as well, and she took 2 weeks off work.

  9. OMG! Your poor hand, I hope it doesn't hurt! Be sure to get lots of rest so you can heal quicker!

  15. Ahh–I remember Conway Twitty fondly and his guitar-shaped swimming pool . . . Oddly enough, I developed a strange bump on my hand after having tons of medications pumped into me through an IV line during the birth of my third child. Glad you could remove yours so smoothly!

  16. LOL! I actually ment Conway Twitty when I was a kid. My Mom loved country and was in a wheelchair so when we went to a concert we got special treatment 😉

    Hope you get better soon! Maybe you should do some special physical therapy to get the bird back into action again 😀

    seriously…. hope it's not painful
    (hugs)

  18. Hope you're feeling better now and that you get well very soon.

    All the best

  20. Holy hands, Wendy! That looks nasty! Now, you need a good story for it.

    "I punched a shark in the mouth that was trying to eat a small child."

    "I over-bitch-slapped someone for not buying my jewelry."

    "I was savaged at a sale at [insert your fave designer here]."

    Hope it heals fast!

  21. Pheew! For a minute there I was worried you weren't going to gain full use of that finger.

    You know, its as important as the index finger.

  23. ohhh glad it all went well and hope you heal quickly! you should treat yourself to a great nailpolish and beautiful ring to celebratr recovery!
