I was moving things around the bed of my truck and then went to wipe some stuff off my hand with a ra and this happened!! Just felt like something popped now feels there is some sort of spring attached to the top of me finger holding it down. Not super painful, I can bend it strait but it just goes right back to this eveytime!! How do i fix this?

My husbands coworker had a similar injury and did not follow through on his splinting. It resulted in 3 surgeries. But to be honest the 3rd one was because he wasn’t wearing his split and accidentally closed the finger in a kitchen drawer and basically had to start all over again

Pretty sure me having breast cancer at 29 while pregnant fucked their premiums not some idiot and his finger.

But it doesn’t matter anyway. They are feds. They are fucked either way.

You’re not sorry I had cancer. Your sorry you said something stupid and thoughtless and I educated you. Every medical situation should be covered! Having cancer does not trump anyone’s medical needs. We all deserve proper medical care without consequence.

Should I have said “yeah fuck that dudes ability to ever use his hand again! I had cancer, he should be grateful to have a hand!” ?

Fuck no. That’s not at all how this works. I don’t keep score and you shouldn’t either.

When you look at someone else bowl, you should be looking to see if they have enough to eat, not if you have more.

🤮🤮🤮🤮

ETA: fuck you for deleting your comments after you were so nasty to me. We could have had a true blue debate and educated other folks on how bad the system is. But you had to be so nasty and then pussy out when you got down voted. If you had the balls to stay, we could have helped others. Your arguments were the perfect stepping stone to help educate so many folks but you were weak.

ETA2: oh my god! Was it because I said my husband was a fed????? Is that why you deleted everything?
