Swollen Finger/Ring Saga... Over!
April 2, 2009 - 4:11 p.m. - Santa Monica, CA
Right before I got on a plane to San Francisco, my next door neighbor noticed my swollen ring finger. She said, "You better get it off soon or you'll have to cut it off, like my other pregnant friend did." That was ten days ago.
Today, I went to the Santa Monica Fire Department to have my wedding band hacked off. I previously tried everything to remove it including:
- Iced water (tried to shrink my fingers)
- Ace bandage compression with hand above heart level (tried to squeeze blood out of my fingers)
- Warm olive oil
- Baby oil
- Coconut oil
- Soap
- Lotion
- Silicone sex lube (thanks M, it was worth a shot!)
None of it worked, even in combination.

Silvio could see everything my doctor was pointing out. I could not. Everything was a black and white mess to me.
Silvio: Is that her nose?
Dr: Yep!
Me: Is that her eye?
Dr: No, that's her elbow.
Silvio: Is that her eye?
Dr: Yep!
Me: Is that her heart?
Dr: No, those are her sexual organs.
Silvio: Are those her legs?
Dr: Yep! There's the femur.
Me: Is that her hand?
Dr: No, that's her eye.
Silvio: No, her hand's over here.
And so on, and so on.
Silvio: Is that her nose?
Dr: Yep!
