FearfulSymmetry: Good to hear nothing is broken! I hope it'll start to heal soon and that the pain decreases. I understand your attitude about painkillers - I try not to take them unless absolutely necessary as well.
I am sure it will be fine. It will be more painful as the swelling comes out, then it will slowly get better. The doctor thinks a few weeks and all should be fine.
I don't tend to take painkillers at all, unless someone guilts me into it. Usually my partner with a soft caring tone of voice and some puppy dog eyes, which is how she usually makes me do things that I don't want to do. :-)
EndreWhiteMane: A Boxer Dog! So Boxer dogs it is then, I will remember that. :-)
LaPtiteBete: Ho you are a Mac user !!
I use "the Gimp", which is cool too, and free :)
Question is : will you allow this poor arm enough rest and time... ? ):-| beware, beware, young lady... don't do anything silly...
I'm fine, thanks !! lots of work to do and rarely motivated enough, but, well... that's life ! :-\
I live in... 18 minutes.
** Happy thank-you-again-for-this-awesome-wallpaper Hug ** I have used Gimp as well, and it is very nice, especially as it is free. Pixelmator was on sale when I got it, so it cost me very little, but even at full price it is not too expensive.
To answer your question, probably not. I intend to keep working as much as I can, so I am not sure if you would class that as silly?
*big happy you are welcome hug*
(I hope you don't mind me using one of your cute little pictures on the image. I liked how it made you look like a giant walking past the Eiffel Tower. :-))
