I’m off until at least 5 Feb due to a boxers fracture. I’m getting sick of TV and movies. Today I’ll clean my apartment, but even with my busted hand it will only take a couple of hours. I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Solve Rubik’s cubes
  • Work on music production
  • Sleep

Thing I probably should do:

  • Continue to learn Swift
  • Follow makeup tutorials

Lemmy, what would you do?

EDIT: Keep ‘em coming Lemmsters! I LOVE the suggestions, and can’t wait to give some of these a go!

    Had the same deal last year when I tore an achilles tendon. :(

    #1) Do what the doc/physical therapist tells you to do.

    #2) It’s OK to push yourself a little, but pain is your body telling you when to stop.

    I figured out how to stream the PS5 and Xbox to the Steam Deck in the bedroom, your mileage may vary! :)

    Dying to know though… boxers fracture? Hopefully a good story there! Always lead with your first 2 knuckles!

      Thank you for your advice!

      I wish I had 😅

      Unfortunately it’s a bit of a sad story. My father and I are no longer speaking.

          No need for sad panda, it’s been a long time coming I think.

            Did you at least lay him out?

              Sadly I think I hit a stud. Turns out that punching however thick of wood studs are, is a bad idea.

              So it’s a pretty stupid thing to do. I don’t recommend, not even with rice.
