Well an interesting morning

Kelsey, on February 16, 2020 at 1:55 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 24
So this morning I put my engagement ring on when I woke up like normal. I never really have problems with finger swelling. After taking my dog out I realized my ring finger was really swollen. After taking ibuprofen and doing every home remedy in the book, we went to the ER because the walk in was packed. And my finger was turning purple by then. They had to cut off my ring. It was an awful experience and now my ring needs to be fixed. I'm so sad right now. But my FH keeps saying at least you didnt lose your finger which is supposed to make me feel better but doesn't.

    That is awful, I’m so sorry. The same thing happened to my dad and I remember how devastated he was.

    A ring can be replaced so do not stress. Doesn't change the fact you're engaged. I would check to see are you allergic to something in the ring. I am sorry and it is disappointing but you can replace it. Finger would be worse. Will you see what the reaction was?

    I have had my ring for over a year so I dont think I'm allergic to anything in it. I feel like that would have happened a lot earlier. We have insurance on the ring so we are hoping some of it will be covered at least.

    Yeah the guy that cut it off felt bad, he kept apologizing which was nice but obviously not his fault. I think I will feel better after we get it fixed and I get the reassurance it will be fixed.

    Oooh I am hoping it is covered too. That's odd that happened. A wasp bite maybe while outside? My finger swole when it happened to me.

    I’m sure you’ll be able to get it fixed, but it’s okay to be upset. You had a rough day.

    We are in Wisconsin so we dont have bugs or anything right now lol. Its also cold out and they said in the ER they see more cases in the summer compared to now, we are at 15 degrees right now. But my FH says it will be fixed no matter what.

    Thanks. I know it will be ok. I just love my ring so much, didn't realize I was so emotionally attached to it.

    Well I am sorry that your morning started off like that but it's great that your fiance reassured you that the problem will be fixed. Good luck and keep us posted. You'll have to excuse me I'm from Florida and it's basically summer almost all year round hahaha.

    This happened to me once too! I got a mosquito bite on the knuckle of my ring finger and had to go to the ER at 1am to have it cut off 😭


    Honestly put things into such perspective for me. Being at the hospital surrounded all these people who are really sick or severely injured really just made me grateful that a broken engagement ring was my only problem, you know?

    My husband and I laugh about it now. We had to change the script for our ceremony with the part that says the thing about “a ring is a circle that cannot be broken” lol.

    Don’t stress hun, I’m sure it’s totally fixable. Mine was! Good as new.

    Thank you that makes me feel better. We were the only ones there actually. So that was a bit odd, but I guess a quiet day in an ER is also a good thing. I dont even know what I did, if I did I wouldn't do it again lol. Guess make sure from now on when I get up my fingers aren't swollen at all.

    That’s so strange! If you’re nervous about it happening again you could look into getting your stone(s) reset into an adjustable band like this https://www.lustigjewelers.com/superfit.cfm

    Oh wow. Yeah mine has like a criss cross on the side and one of them completely broke off when they cut it off. So that has to be repaired too. Well an interesting morning 4
    Here was a picture of my ring. And the side broke off because it was delicate and once they broke the center where they cut it the side just broke off. I know it will be fixed.

    No it's ok. I know it will be fixed and can be. I'm just stressed. If our jeweler was open today I would probably be there but I have to wait lol. Plus they probably couldn't do much due to my swelling right now. Thanks! I'm hopeful it will look the same. I asked my FH if this meant I could upgrade my ring that didnt fly lol.
