Well I just came back from Kaiser Woodland Hills/Urgent Care, and the doc said I don't need to take Vicodin if Ibuprofen works for me. I also have Hydrocordone (generic Vicodin) here at home in a stronger dosage if I really, really want it.
I'm not supposed to wet my hand at all if I can avoid it, which means plastic-bagging it in the shower and not washing it. So I'm trying to avoid using it when it could get dirty. That means no Jamba. (Yay!)
I'm taking Ibuprofen for the pain and Keflex for the possible bacterial infection. I have to see an Orthopedic doctor sometime this week, and by next week the stitches should come out. But they think I may have severed either a tendon or a nerve, which is why I can't bend the top joints of either my ring finger or my pinky. I look like Sally from Nightmare before Christmas-- all sewn up and pale. o_O
