Ok I need to tell someone (already told my brother but I was being reassuring w/ him and i want to be dramatic)

I ALMOST LOST MY FINGER

MY RING FINGER ON MY LEFT HAND

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

so I have a family ring i wear on that finger, and yesterday i twisted my ankle, fell and caught myself by my hands, and the edges of the ring are sharp enough i guess that it cut my finger 2-3 mm into my FLESH on the bottom of the ring, where the finger connects with the palm

and I have anxiety, so as one does I stressed over it BUT told noone because I wanted it to like, go away on its own. I put mercurochrome on it and then i assumed it was good.

the part that is important to understand is that because I am fat, but I put on the ring on that finger when I weighed 10 kilos less, the ring is stuck on. I have not taken off the ring in YEARS. and i still couldnt take it off because, despite the fact that it hurt, I didn't magically lose those 10 kilos when I fell.

so I went to bed. because i am on a pain medication (hip problems) i didn't notice any bad pain, but oh boy. The ring was still there. And whilst I control my hand movements during the day, when I sleep it's a fucking PARTY apparently because when I woke up, the finger...

whilst it was not cut off!! the cut was deeper!!!! by a few mm!!!!!!!

and it still did not hurt, and also barely bled (because the blood flow on that finger was not ideal due to the ring), so i put a bandaid on and did my things. including DRAGGING A FULLY LOADED GROCERY CART AROUND WITH MY LEFT HAND

but then i was like "it hurts a lot" and then remembered that since i am on pain meds, it must HURT A LOT A LOT

so i went to the pharmacy, when the lady took one look at it and went "you have to go to the emergency room" and I went "why?" (because im a MORON) to which she answered "you are going to loose your finger? if you don't take off that ring that is CUTTING YOUR FINGER OFF??? theyre gonna cut it off at the emergency room" and THANK GOD WE'RE FRENCH because "ils vont la couper" was gendered of course but now writing it back in english it sounds like she meant my finger haha but no she meant they're gonna cut the ring at the emergency room

the ermergency room

the room that is for emergencies

the room that is for emergencies that I toooootally went to

....

so i, after hearing her advice, i did not heed her advice, and did NOT go to the emergency room (i don't have a car)

...

BECAUSE I AM SMART and remembered there was a jeweler on the same street, so I went to the jeweler, and he said "?didn't they tell you to go to the emergency room?" and I said "can't you do it?" and he was super nice and careful, whilst he cut off the ring - the ring which belonged to my dead grandma, that she gave me to remind me that our family would always be there for me even if they passed (like SHE DID - jk at the time she meant my dead uncle, not her, she was alive when she gave it to me) so yeah i feel SUPER GUILTY ABOUT CUTTING IT OFF BUT IT WAS IT OR ME FINGER still i feel guilty about it

and then i went back to the pharmacy and the lady was like "yOU CUT IT OFF YOURSELF????" because she knew I was back after only 15 minutes or so, and she knows where I live (since its my neighbourhood pharmacy) so I think she thought I went back to my flat to do it myself haha

I reassured her I hadn't, and i showed her the cut and she went "hmmm ok doesnt need stitches.... .... ...............for now" ?????????????? then she gave me a product to help it heal+scar safely, and she sent me on my merry way so i guess in the end im all good................... .for now

(I typed this message veeeeeery carefully I swear)

(thank you for listening haha)

oh my fucking GOD JULIETTE??? THAT'S TERRIFYING??????

it somehow gets worse in worse in each paragraphes and it starts out PRETTY BAD TO START WITH

Although now i can't help but be a bit worried, i admit i'm also amazed and horrified by how long it took to take care of it..... while also thinking about how with the combo anxiety+distance i probably would also have tried to ignore it until it goes away so i can't actually judge you on this one

I'm just glad it ended up being okay and you managed to work around it. So sorry the ring had to be cut for it though :( but i guess you can see it as payback. it did cut you first after all!

I do understand the need to be dramatic to deal with this situation and i'm glad you did it here though. At least it's ending well.

And DO be careful with your hands now :o

anyway i wish you a good recovery and good luck with your new bandage-themed-ring that will hopefully make this situation easier.

Take care!!!

Gotta say, it's a pretty good excuse to make alex do the dishes for the foreeable future! (yeah he transitionned not long after we left Aix, first told me then to mom(maybe 5 months apart), and mom came out of this conversation all sad and that't apparently because Alex told her nobody has ever believed in him harder, and it's still the case now. I will protect him forever è_é

Ah yeah the classic "extreme injury means i can coax for services out of my siblings"

But also :o ! that's so good on your brother, i'm so glad that he figured that out for himself and very happy he had you to support him <333

Cheering for the two of you and i hope you guys have a nice time ;D u get to protect him for ever. he gets to do the dishes to protect your hand. equivalent exchange.

Trump and Bolsonaro got elected, article 13 passed in France, nazis are back.... i’d say we’re at 5 Cuils.

(OG meme. Got the idea sober, made the thing sober.... I’m not proud.)

Hey ! I'd like to thank you so much for the "write a sentence every time this post is on your dash". I really need something like that to get me to write, and I hope it become one of those post I see on my dash every ten seconds.

Yup, I honestly love how much it's going around and helping people write. A lot of people love to write but have problems with motivation, so I figured the post might end up making it sort of like a game.

Heh love don't cry, even if today was a bad day tomorrow will be better. read a good book ( or whatever really ), go take a bath with a lot of bubbles ( if you like bubbles ) and just relax for a while :) also feel free to talk whenever you want, nobody will blame you for "complaining", it's your blog you can post what you feel like posting, kay ? I'm here if you want to talk more

oh, thank you so much, this really means a lot to me! I’ve been having violent crying crysis for months and hardly ever found someone to talk to, so your nice words are really making me smile
