Default invention of tos pinky brace

woke up with pinky pain similar to broken bone. possible sleep walking injury.

doc buddy taped pinky to ringfinger. this was not good enuf. doc diagnosed as a sprain. to me that would be a best case scenario diagnosis since he is not even considering it could be the tos in his 5 minute chat.

i got 2 dr appt cards and folded lengthwise, taped them shut. cut a piece of foam from a blouse shoulder pad and taped this to cardboard. taped the pinky and ring finger to this board. over this put my wrist brace.

typing is now touch on left and hunt and peck with a pen on the right. but i am no longer about to cry from the pain.

if medicine cannot help us we must help ourselves. i am quite sure an appropriate splint exists, too bad they use the cheap and ineffective approach. i thank my creator she gave me creativity, and i pray she gives it to doctors.
