So on Friday Ranna and I went to Charlene's work to help her with some filing. We were getting close to finishing things up when Charlene cut her knuckle on either the file cabinet or the on the metal clasp that holds the papers in the file. We aren't sure what exactly happened. Ranna and I finished things up with the filing while Charlene found gauze to wrap her hand with and filled out workers comp paper work. We then went to a clinic to have a doctor decide if she needed stitches or not. After the nurse cleaned the cut the doctor said that Charlene was lucky that it wasn't any deeper because of how close the tendons and muscles are to the surface. Charlene ended up with 5 stitches, and she has to wear a splint to keep her finger straight so she doesn't stretch the skin and pull out the stitches. the splint is the length of her finger and most of the length of her palm. So she really can't bent it at all. The plus to the splint is that it is wrapped in bright pink.
During the time we were at the clinic all three of us were in very silly moods and we were just laughing at the fact that Charlene got stitches in November and again two months later. We were just making all sorts of jokes about things. We even got the nurse and doctor laughing. It was so funny. I was really glad that Charlene looked at the positive side of things instead of being bitter about the whole situation.
