I’m sorry I couldn’t get through all the tennis lore

All that for a blister.

Yeah... Next time if your dominant hand is injured and you live with another person, suck it up and let them dress your wounds so you don't make a huge mess/do it wrong. My fiance is a bartender and gets a lot of angry cuts from using his hands and citrus juice, so some weekends i have to sit there and bandage his fingers (big, tough, ex army dude), but it's just easier to make sure they actually heal. Also, mom's did all that stuff when you were 2 and screaming so theyve got it down now that you're older, it's really NBD lol.

Worst TIFU I've ever tried to read. I have technical manuals that kept my attention longer.

Next time wear a glove...

Kid named finger burn

Dude, next time get a needle, clean it with alcohol and just drain it slowly. Busting them open is worse and I couldn't even get to attempt 3 because i saw Gorilla Glue.. no way is that better for you than a small hole & aspirating it like a cyst.

Man, five screens for a blister?? WTF?

Just pin a little hole in it to remove liquid and apply a band aid. In a couple hours it will stick with the skin. Add some gel if you want but it's easy as pie. A blister the size of a coin, half of it? Was it that hard? You overcomplicated it. Why couldn't you get help if you needed two hands? You didn't amputate your hand! What's so bad about it? Get a friend if you don't want to call your mom.

bixby must hate you

This reads like if you put your phone on talk to text and then gave it to a coke head

I have a slight accent, and Bixby wrote down some weird sh*t, but it was really easy to have it write down long pieces of text, which is why this post is so unusually long

Let me go on like I blister in the sun

Let me go on. Big hands, I know OP’s the one

I think the real FU is not reassessing the relative importance of tennis practice in your life.

Hehe, I can see where you're coming from. At this point, tennis is probably one of the greatest things that's keeping me alive (not suicidal). I'll even go as far as to say that it saved my life

I assumed it had special importance. Look at it this way though: by not easing off, you’ve seriously compromised your ability to play until that hand heals up.

Lol nice lengthy narrative on how NOT to apply simple first aid.

Bingo! That's exactly what I was thinking. Although I can't play Tennis right now, it doesn't stop me from doing Injury Prevention Exercises, which is really important and a commonly overlooked factor of being a tennis player

this was super underwhelming for an XL flair
