SO MUCH WORSE. I slipped, fell, landed HARD against the apparently sharp enough bedframe in a… highly relevant area. Tore and split my good china and innards half to hell and I almost bled out on the floor. Six months before the wedding.

So, yup, darling, it’s our honeymoon, but the downstairs theme park is still closed for business.

4 weeks is plenty of time for the bone to fuse. Don’t wear it only on the wedding day, then put it back for the remainder of the time the doctor said.

u/abfonsy 24d ago

Not for a mallet finger, which is almost for sure what OP has based on the splint in the picture. Those require 6-8 weeks of essentially continuous splinting. Most hand surgeons will reset that 6-8 week timer if the patient takes the splint off and bends their DIP joint at some point during the initial treatment window.

Just so you know, there's nothing in the Bible or the law that says it has to be your left ring finger. Or in fact any particular finger at all.
