Hazard of being a Dog Groomer π€¦ββοΈ
Yesterday around 2:30 I tripped over a dog going to the tub to bathe it and used my hand to catch myself on the tub. Didn't really bother me at the time, was just trying to get the dog to the tub.
After I get home around 8:30pm, I start vacuuming and realize my palm feels strange. Kind of swollen. Doesn't hurt to bend my fingers or wrist. So I start feeling around on the swollen area. I feel this hard spot that I know isn't supposed to be there poking up. Like I said didn't hurt, just not right and pinky fingertip was a little tingly. This morning when I wake up my fingertip is still tingly.
It's not broke/fractured, but the hard spot is more than likely a torn tendon that will take time to heal.
Don't worry, it's not slowing me down much. I've groomed 3 dogs today.
I do have to give a big shout out and Thank You! to Shelly for saving the day this morning and meeting my clients and bathing dogs for me while I was at the clinic getting my hand looked at. πβ€οΈ Thank you so very much!!!!
