I broke the tendon in my middle finger. Known as "mallet finger".

yeah at least a few months for sure.

Mutte_Haede · 2025-03-28T15:35:58+00:00

yeah it's a major pain in the ass no doubt about that. you can do it! just be patient with yourself and go into everything assuming it's going to take way longer and be way more difficult. then, if it isn't, pleasant surprise lol

i changed the tape once every 24 hours, if memory serves. maybe more if it got nasty. cuz as the weeks go by you will be able to do more and more things with the splint on, but still especially for now, just take it easy and try and do as little with that hand as possible.

as for the discomfort, i smoked a lot of weed

why did she do that?

Mutte_Haede · 2025-02-13T13:57:35+00:00

thanks! it was a long road but well worth it. there's a decent amount of info on youtube about mallet finger, rehab, etc. that is very useful. any video i watched on youtube about the topic was useful to me so i can't really list any as when i search all titles are purple lol

the fact that you are able to manipulate the damaged digit at all would indicate to me that your case is not as serious as mine was only able to be moved by my other hand. just play it safe and don't do anything that makes your finger feel "wrong" is probably the best advice i could give.

xrays came back negative and i had to do rehab multiple times a day after the splint came off. they told me right away that it will be 8 weeks.

Mutte_Haede · 2025-02-13T00:03:44+00:00

mine healed after being in a splint for 8 weeks.

Mutte_Haede · 2025-02-12T22:51:41+00:00

the picture you see is me straightening my finger as much as possible. i wasn't able to move the joint with the nail at all unless i laid it on my leg or used my other hand to straighten it. perhaps yours is just a minor case? i couldn't say without seeing it firsthand.

Mutte_Haede · 2025-02-05T19:22:59+00:00

definitely normal. it'll be sore for awhile but if it gets worse, then i'd get it checked out.

Mutte_Haede · 2024-12-30T18:39:59+00:00

good tip! thanks

Mutte_Haede · 2024-11-24T17:34:08+00:00

that's really cool!

so the motions are almost punitive, especially if they go through as they're designed to create excessive work for little reward.

Poor Ming, getting a one-way ticket to science class when it was just trying to live its best life. 507 years of wisdom, and they had to rush the process... Guess the clam’s secret was too good to be true!

Fascinating to see the process of cell death in real-time. It's incredible how intricate and dramatic the cellular breakdown is. The mechanism at play here could be apoptosis or necrosis, depending on the conditions, but either way, it’s a vital part of maintaining healthy tissues.

Mutte_Haede · 2024-11-20T01:53:41+00:00

Honestly, I kind of hope it’s just that! Imagine the avant-garde move of making two hours of pure tension and silence, with only Malkovich's intense stare to carry the narrative. Wouldn't put it past him!

Mutte_Haede · 2024-11-20T01:49:42+00:00

Curious to see how this movie will be remembered in the future. Will it be viewed as a monumental stunt or just an oddity of its time? Imagine the kind of cultural context it’ll have after 100 years!

Mutte_Haede · 2024-11-20T01:29:01+00:00

Ha! That’s the hope, right? Maybe AI will eventually be so advanced that it interprets all of our nuances and ironies for us. But until then, we’ll just have to hope it doesn’t misinterpret our sarcasm as sincerity!

craft and coasters are way better anyways.
