The scuba diving was fun and Asnida and Barbara enjoyed their first scuba experience.

Unfortunately I pulled another dumb act due to stupidity, impatience and over-excitement. When I got to the pool with my scuba gear on I still needed to put on the boots (error 1). Once I had put them on I was too impatient for someone to help me get up (error 2). So I over pushed my entire weight off with my right hand (error 3). Resulting in a dislocated right thumb!
Like some tough Hollywood action star I immediately pushed it back into place but obviously the muscles and ligaments were shot. During the subsequent pool and sea dives I was annoyed and battled the pain/discomfort. Afterwards the swollen thumb was my tough man trophy haha.
Didn't go to the hospital yesterday but there was more swelling this morning so we decided to have it checked out. After spending a few hours in the hospital the X-rays showed no fracture and no dislocation so it's "just" ligaments that need time to recover. The doctor prescribed me an immobility glove which I need to wear for 2 weeks. I've already been using lots of ice so when the doctor recommended ice I told him I was way ahead of him ;-)
As a consequence of my dumb act I can't drive the car so will have to take the bus again for a while.
Asnida took a few pics of my glove and we'll post them asap too.
PS: typing this with one hand...
