Tale of a Broken Finger

My left-handed husband recently broke the middle finger of his left hand, during an attempt to remove an air conditioning unit. What ever possessed him at 1:00 a.m. to do this beats me. I was minding my own business as any tired woman would do at 1:00 a.m., sleeping soundly, until I was awoken by the screams of my dear husband. Trust me – my husband screaming in pain is not a pleasant sight to behold or hear – a rare one indeed.

The moral of the story is this:  a finger, a knee – all it takes is a fluke, one quick mindless or slow deliberate move and oh – no, injury rears its ugly head. His left hand is wrapped in a bandage for now and I am filling in for him, opening the tabs of his favorite soda (healthy of course), tearing the plastic off of fortune cookie wrappers, to even reading his fortune – “Something will happen in your life and you will have a new found appreciation.” He most certainly does for his dear finger, and his temporarily disabled and immobilized limb. Thank goodness that this too shall pass!
