Disfigured for Life

When I told people that I broke my own finger by sitting on it, some people didn't believe me, yet everybody, without exception laughed, even if it was just a muffled titter. Having broken the first bone in my body in 36 years, nearly 37, I really did think that I would win a little more sympathy. How wrong could I be.

My finger started out the day in fine fettle, without a care in the world, carrying out all it's normal day to day duties. Then it all went terribly wrong. Whilst organising the refurbishment of a meeting room at the office, I chose to sat on a long bench seat, on lowering myself down, I steadied myself with my right hand by gripping the edge of the seat. Little did I know that the seat top had not been fixed down properly and was only resting on the frame. The moment my arse hit that seat the, the top part of the bench moved slightly and dropped only about 10mm onto its frame, with only my finger sanswiched between the two parts.

After nearly passing out with the pain, I was taken to the local hospital by one of the guys in the office. Within 15 minutes I had been assesed and 30 minutes after that, I had been x-rayed, strapped and sent on my way with a mallet finger.

In ten days time I was due to fly to Turkey to play golf for a week with six of my friends. Having my finger heavily strapped was not going to improve my swing. Closer than Turkey though was our trip to Spain for the weekend to celebrate Pippa's special birthday, our flight was in 24 hours and I was walking home from the hospital in pain.
