How long after injuring your thumb is it a worry that it still hurts?!?

On the 22nd of April I hurt my thumb. Colin was chasing me up the stairs trying to whoop me on the butt as you do and I went to defend myself and he accidentally bent back my thumb at a funny angle. My best bet at the time was that I had sprained it.
On the 23rd of April it was sore enough that he had to dress me… well you try doing up your fly without two opposable thumbs.
By the 24th of April I could dress myself but my thumb still hurt.
By the 30th it was sore at the extremes of mobility but not too much of a bother.

Unfortunately its stayed at that phase.

So now nearly a month after the injury I still haven’t regained full mobility… Is this a bad sign??

I’m young I’m supposed to heal faster than this!

Anyways its not an awful bother so I’ll put up with it but I’m going to be really cranky if it doesn’t get better soon. How am I supposed to play my Nintendo DS now!

Surprisingly Busy

This week is consulting week at uni otherwise known as STUVAC. So basically I have a week off uni to catch up on all of that stuff I should have been doing earlier. Generally for me this ends up being a bit of a holiday, generally spent watching tv, sleeping in and occasionally pretending to study and justifying why I can leave it until tomorrow.
So far this week (and yes I know there’s only been a day of it) I’ve been very busy, primarily cleaning the house but now that I can move around it without falling over and breaking my ankle I can get down to study which is what I intend to do today…

fun fun.

I love podcasts

I’ve realised today why podcasts are absolutely fantastic… They give me the opportunity to know everything before Colin. Occasionally he even incorrectly corrects me which is even more delicious. Then I know exactly where to find my corroborating evidence and 1 point to me, zero points to Colin…

Typical conversation now goes:

C – apple have a hifi for their Ipod now
M – I know, I heard about it on the Geeks of Hazzard last month – apparently its crap.
C – annoyed noises because I outgeeked him.

I was also recently right about what web 2.0 was. Lots of fun watching his face when he saw several websites agreeing with what I was saying.

So three cheers for podcasts and way they make me effortlessly knowledgeable about current affairs in the tech world.
