Yesterday I realised that the “thing” I did to my left thumb was actually a partial dislocation. And it is still ever so slightly out of place. It took me about a week to figure it out! I did think it felt a bit weird… 🤔. But I thought it just must still hurt a bit - well that was true, but the joint is also not lined up! Ouch.

Kind of humorous that it took me so long to really notice though 😂 classic interoception issues combined with alexithymia and chronic pain!

It is the MCP (metacarpal) joint by the way, I had to Google it to find out. Apparently dislocations are less common for that joint 🤷🏻‍♂️.

I went cross country skiing first thing on Friday after I got back to Montana, USA from Bogotá, Colombia, and had a great time despite the cold (-13f, -25c).

photo of bruised hand and description of dislocated thumb below the cut.

Till the end when I fell on my pole and dislocated my thumb. It's alright, but over the last three days the bruising has developed to an impressive hue!

I've dislocated my thumbs a few times each, and they haven't bruised this much before. I think it bruised this much because I thought I might have broken my hand at first and skied back to the car before I put it back in. So it was out for probably 15 minutes or more, when previously I put my dislocations back in the socket right away.

fiber arts really is such an insane category of Things in how it can draw you in. like, 6 or 7 years ago i learnt to crochet and made a few terrible hats and scarves. then i learnt to knit because i wanted to knit a scarf for my friend (now fiance :D). then i realized it should be a woven scarf so i picked up weaving instead, but i still really liked knitting so now i was doing 3 crafts. somewhere along the way i started dyeing yarn as part of my kitchen experiments, and then i was like fuck it i wanna make my own yarn ! and that is where the problems happened. in the span of like 5 years ive acquired like $2000 of various tools (spinning wheel, combs, cards, blending board, several looms, etc), bought dozens of fleeces, and now my bedroom is basically a craft room with a bed, i have wool covering every flat surface in there as well as a huge dresser full of wool and several large drawers full of wool, i meticulously scrape every last bit of avocado out of the peel so i can use it to dye fleece, and i don’t go anywhere (including in my own house) without at least 2 knitting projects and a spindle.

im not complaining or anything, but the rapid shift from ‘guy who does stuff, idk’ to ‘guy who is worryingly obsessed with wool and will infodump at length about medieval sheep husbandry and the history of nettle as a textile if you give him half a chance’ is like. extremely funny to me.

Human bodies are so unfortunate and illogical. Please tell me again why I need to use kinesio tape to retrain my thumb joints how not to move? Oh, you mean if I don't provide the contact reinforcement from the tape they'll regularly hyperextend and collapse every time I do anything from holding my pencil to driving to opening a jam jar? Causing weakness in my hands, arthritic nodes on my joints, tremors, and severe cramping in my palms and forearms? Cool. Cool cool cool. Love it. -10/10.

also, just as an fyi, I’m at my family’s until about 8:00pm (that’s about an hour and a half from now, maybe two hours with travel) and then i will be back home in my hidey hole nook and can officially dedicate myself — fully — to my writing. until then? it’s heavily distracted at best, but i can maybe get something done?

in other news, since i took a whole fancy photoshoot of them for garrett, behold my gortash rings. they serve an actual medical purpose and cost way, way too much money. now that you can buy claws and all kinds of crazy ones to match on etsy, though? watch out.

uh oh, the Hardcore Gamers are afraid of the easy mode players again. who let their play difficulty turn into a personality trait again?
