Woke at 2am today with a very swollen hand. Didn't think I should go to A&E in the middle of the night with it so waited until 6am by which time it was even worse. The cast was too tight and they had to split it to relieve the pressure - the nurse said it was a medical emergency and I should have gone in earlier as it can cause permanent damage to the tissue. They x-rayed again to make sure that splitting the cast had not caused the bone to move then let me go - about 4 hours after I arrived! So I didn't actually make it in to work today but plan to go in tomorrow - we will see how well I get on! Could do with a nursemaid now to help me - any takers?
