I clicked here from the post about your new ring and was VERY disappointed to find there was no picture goodness from this event posted.

Poor dear! Next time (if there is a next time), get the swollen bit on some ice and elevate it higher than your heart for about 15 minutes. That should reduce the swelling. And if not, go to the ER. Nope, I'm not a nurse, but I've had the same thing happen to me.

My regular doc is a cute gay man. We spend most of my examination time giggling over lube and stupidity!

Glad you got the ring off. I've gotten mine stuck a few times and you start to panic...not sure why?!

funny but scary story. glad it all worked out. i have heard stranger wedding ring stories, like the one where he swallowed his ring.

As an American, the most amazing part of that story is....you only had to wait five minutes to see the doctor? Wow!!

Seems you made out pretty good but sorry about the finger pain! If it happens again...more bad advice your way...Windex works. I never knew that until I was in the mall trying on rings that apparently I had NO business trying on these fat digits. I went to the desk thinking I would have to purchase the damn thing stuck on my hand. The woman got out the windex and it slid off! As an EMT/Firefighter, we get a lot of "walk-ins" for ring removal. You were lucky. I usually go straight for the ring cutters because the finger is way too swollen to aggrivate it more.

You had me at lube!
Seems like it was the weekend for the ER. Glad all is well .... now.

2010-08-29T21:20:19.304-06:00

Okay I need to go to a Canadian hospital if you are serviced by cute gay doctors. I thought they were an urbane myth. Last time I was in I had the special ed doc who looked like he was the product of cousin loving and smelt faintly of old cigarettes and vomit. Mind you, there for a finger, a cute doc is fine. For things south of the boarder a cute doc is just awkward.

Hope the finger has healed up :)

2010-08-29T20:11:41.976-06:00

WTF? You get two gay doctors for a finger! I went into the emrgency room in a wheelchair and do you think I could get one cute gay doctor? Well... maybe I did... but he wasn't female! Not fair! I mean... I'm sorry to hear about your finger. I'm glad you managed to get it off finally.

2010-08-29T19:29:22.014-06:00

Thanks Kelly!

And yes Roxy cute doctors (plural) and short visit. Plus driven to the hospital by my cute husband. And universal healthcare. So aside from the nasty finger incident, kind of a win?

This might be the funniest post. EVER.

Glad it's off.

p.s. EVERRR.

"start paying attention to what the hell I am doing with my finger..."

famous last words. and so many possibilities with that one that I can't even begin.

also: this just goes to show that nothing good can come from getting married. and that's just logic.

2010-08-29T15:28:46.189-06:00

Gotta love emergency rooms! Funny, same thing happened to us when hubby was there a month ago.....gay triage nurse.....hubby taken in immediately Whew! But had to stay for 8 hours. Any connection? I don't know.

2010-08-29T15:21:09.983-06:00

Oh wow! That definitely had to be the shortest ER visit in the history of the world! Glad you were able to keep the finger!

Why not simply leave the ring on?

2010-08-29T13:03:20.148-06:00

That's so unfair. My trips to the Emergency Room never end with 5 minute waits, hot doctors or oils. Could have something to do with living in Kentucky? I hear banjoes.......

2010-08-29T10:45:08.418-06:00

All the best stories start with "it involved lube and my wedding ring". I thought it was just me!

So glad it worked out. For the ring too!

2010-08-29T10:04:56.340-06:00

My finger is on the road to recovery already, and yes all the agitation definitely made it worse. Guess I cannot leave things alone!

And we did get in and out of the hospital quite quickly, while there were other people waiting. We wondered why. Likely because they thought we were a quick fix. Or our big smiles and endless charm?

2010-08-29T08:02:40.388-06:00

A five-minute wait? Must have been an uncharacteristically slow night. Usually it's 3-4 hours. Don't ask me how I know!

2010-08-29T07:59:35.066-06:00

Beyonce's song should really come with a warning: If you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it that fit!

Glad you are okay honey.

2010-08-29T06:54:37.830-06:00

lube didn't work but the oil did? what? they've got magic oil or just more patience? you poor guy. lucky for you the doctor wasn't my uncle, cause the first thing he would have done was suggest amputation - just to freak you out.
