Injured

If you have been reading over in my twitter bar – you saw my comment about my finger pointing in two different directions because I was stupidly trying to save my Blackberry from shattering on the hardwood floor and in the process, my finger met up with the couch. You know how you jam your finger and you think you bent your nail back or you actually do bend your nail back ? that’s what Ithought i did until I looked down and saw that my finger was bent to the side, to the side, people! I popped it back in to place and it kind of snapped back like a rubber band and then it started to hurt. in that moment – thank goodness – I had the mind to pull of my ring before the swelling began. I put the finger on ice and went up to tell my husband by laying on the floor and saying that my finger bent 30 degrees to the left. Xrays in the ER revealed a chipped bone but the ligaments are fine. I’m in a splint for w weeks and then tape. Two weeks of taking 10 minutes to type one paragraph with one hand. Updating might be sporadic but check my twitter for updates!

Bio

Hi! I’m currently a singer with the Voices of the Pops, the featured vocal ensemble for Peter Nero and the Philly Pops, with performances at the Kimmel Center, and the Philadelphia Singers, the featured choral ensemble for the Philadelphia Orchestra, with performances at the Kimmel Center, Carnegie Hall, and the Saratoga Music Festival. Past engagements included the soprano fairy soloist, Midsummer Night’s Dream, with the Philadelphia Kantorei in their performance with the Pennsylvannia Ballet, the title role in Suor Angelica with the Denver Opera Company, and several performances, too many to number, with Opera Colorado, and the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia.
I was recently in the Philadelphia Singers’ Singer Spotlight where I answered some fun questions that you can read about here.
