A finger injury...

Ok, not like I broke anything but today walking in to work, I was going the the revolving door and instead of a clean 'let go' of the handle, my ring finger and pinky stayed hooked in to the handle, hyperextending and essentially spraining my fingers.

Hurts to make a complete fist and do any kind of spread of the digits. I also stretched the muscle going up the lower/outer part of my wrist up through the fleshy/under side of my forearm.

Funny thing is, I can put all kinds of pressure on the finger tip but I can't get a good squeeze nor can I do the Vulcan 'live long and prosper' deal...which is ok since I've never really done that in the past either...

So, cry for me. :D

It's not the worst but no git-fiddle for me for a while.
