Injury Clarification

Sat Aug 2, 2008, 10:27 AM
I Want To Thank Everyone....

... who has sent me well-wishes, either online or in person at San Diego, about my wrist. It's really nice that everyone is so kind.

However.

I've had SO MANY wonderful gestures of warmth and compassion that I can't tell each and every wrist well-wisher this individually:

I did not hurt my wrist.

Repeat: I DID NOT HURT MY WRIST.

My wrist is fine, as it has always been.

I tore the collateral ligament that runs alongside my thumb and connects the two bones of the thumb to the knuckle. My wrist is A-OK. My thumb is what's all f*****-up. That's why I can't draw too well, because I can't pinch the pencil bwteen my thumb and forefinger.

Again - wrist, good.... thumb, bad.

I felt compelled to post about this because I've received about 18 multi-paragraph notes and e-mails with tips on how to get my wrist feeling better. Nothing sucks time like writing e-mails, so I felt bad that people were wasting time with wrist-aid info that actually doesn't do me much good, beyond showing how much people care.

Thanks again for being so supportive and helpful.

-AH!

Oh dear your thumb. Your no longer a tool user^^
:icongenko:
Hope the thumb feels better then ^^;

I hurt my thumb once x.x;
Ended up holding the pencil between my index and middle finger, and putting pressure on it with my index holding it down against my hand. Thumb just rested on top of the index finger and wasn't used. Not the most comfortable, but got the job done for sure!

God speed Adam Hughes! I suppose people assume its the wrist because its the most common injury for those in our profession. I guess the associate it with carpal tunnel and all that jazz. Yours sounds much more serious though, I do hope you get better soon.
