Finger Clicking Good’gaud That Hurts!
A little over a week ago I started feeling a nagging pain in my right index finger, especially around the joint area. The pain went away and then a few days later it returned. I thought it was kind of weird for only one of my fingers to be hurting, but okay.
Then I thought, maybe the pain had something to do with the graph below. I’m not an EntreCard drop master, yet, but do you think the repetitive clicking and scrolling has anything to do with it? 1
Of course, I can’t tell anyone why my finger really hurts. The real reason would seem so silly or too embarrassing that it’s just not worthy of the truth. Surely, I can come up with something a lot more colorful that will leave a crowd of listeners on the edge of their seats.
Here’s my “that’s my story and I’m sticking to it” reason for the soreness: I hit my finger on a tree branch while parachuting out of a plane. Much better. I’m a brave daredevil not a repetitive mouse clicker. A sore finger from dropping? I don’t think so.
Meanwhile, my finger continues to receive lots of TLC, massages and stretching. If that doesn’t work then I still have one more digit that is capable of clicking until I have to use my left hand.
What’s your most unbelievable injury story? I know it’s funny, so spill it. Did you fess up or did you paint a colorful picture?
