Couple nights ago, I had to restrain someone who was drunk and out of control. Somehow during this, I injured my right hand.

Put ice on it yesterday. Felt better today but figured I should go to urgent care just in case.

Went and they did an X-ray. There might be a couple of fractures on a bone in the hand below my thumb. Apparently, this bone has poor blood circulation to begin with, and if it doesn't heal properly, the bone could die, and I would lose a lot of functionality in my dominant hand, permanently.

I'm in a splint for a couple days until the official X-ray results come back. Then I'll know if there IS a fracture or not, and figure out where to go from there.

I don't have medical insurance, and won't until December.

I'm in an odd mixed state of complete calm, and dread. I'm going back and forth.
