Existential Dread Salute

[lavendertook]

OK, now I'm just being existentially trolled. Yesterday, when I was putting the sun room back in order, I noticed my finger was feeling stiff, and saw it was swollen and purple and red. I don't recall hitting it or bending it wrong. The stiffness went away in short order, and it never hurt, but it's still purple and red now.

It is, of course, my middle finger. Very cute existential demons, very cute--laugh away.

I expect it is just a burst blood vessel--what I googled doesn't seem at all alarming. So I'm not going to worry about it unless it starts hurting, turns green, starts singing "Daisy", or doesn't resolve in a couple of days. Anyone else have this happen?

Weird. And just . . . enough already, OK? O_o

I hope your finger calms down soon.

I once clapped too much at a rock concert and developed a (thankfully temporary) ganglion at the base of my index finger. I now fake clap strategically and only do the real thing when I feel the rest of the audience aren't providing sufficient positive feedback for the performers.

Thank you--the red and purple are slowly fading.

Eesh, Yeah, I would too.

It's something that happens a lot to the people in my family. Hurts, but isn't dangerous. And it takes a surprisingly little trauma to make it happen; just have to hit it right, not necessarily hard.
