Rest in Peace 1980-2020
I'm going to make an appointment to see my GP in my previous village… I tried to see the one here, only to be told they are sooooo busy, they are not taking in any new patients. Which is hilarious, there was NO-ONE in the waiting room when I went there. They really could've let me see him.
I still can't grip anything in my hand for longer than a few seconds and even then, I keep losing my grip when I do things like putting my clothes on or taking them off, my grip is not strong. I'm still in pain. My fingers stiffen up often. I can't make a fist with my hand. Typing hurts my wrist. Doing anything with my hand hurts my wrist. I get constant pains ranging from burning to aching in my hand and fingers, often in my thumb joint, which is opposite from the side of my wrist where the car struck me. That worries me. The swelling in my fingers started going down on Friday (after 8 days) only, but is still not gone.
When we went to A&E I was seen by a nurse. I told her I had no feeling or mobility in my hand at all. For hours. She looked at my X-rays, didn't see a glaringly obvious fracture and brushed it off as "it hit you right on the bone, there is no padding there, that is why it's hurting so much" and sent me home with a brace for my wrist.
Well, it's been 10 days now. I'm going to see a doctor.

No offence, but I think with my symptoms I should've been seen by a doctor. I told her I cannot move or feel my fingers. And it was about 3 hours after the accident by then. I googled my symptoms this morning and got told with those to see a doc asap. That's why we went to A&E?!?
" From the receptionist right through to the radiographer… They were all shocked/surprised.
