Oops!

So, I got kind of sick of not being able to wear my wedding ring. And I had the thought one day about how it was always tight on me to begin with and when I would take it off I would have a little indent, so I decided maybe I just needed to build that back up again and if I could at least get it on, then I'd be able to get it off.. makes sense right?

Wrong.

I got it on (not easily I might add...) and within seconds my finger was swelling. Then I kind of panicked so I tried to get it off. That made it worse of course. Now my finger was turning purple and losing feeling. I tried everything from soap to butter and had Jonathan come home from work to help me. He then decided to call a jeweler nearby to see if they would have a way to get it off because this was not happening at home and we didn't know what else to do (& in the meantime my finger is throbbing!).  So I embarrassingly go to the jewelers who then gets this nifty, tiny little saw thing meant to cut the ring, then stretch it some to finally release my finger. I wish now that I had gotten a picture of how awful my finger looked, but you can kind of see how it was a little bit red and swollen still in the picture below (and this was hours later... oops!). Anyways, a few weeks later we ended up getting my ring resized and now it fits beautifully (and even a little big, so this won't happen again)!
