Ow! in big capital letters. Some swearing, too.

I cut myself. On a freakin tin can lid. But no, just a regular cut wasn't enough for me. I had to cut about half a centimetre down starting at the tip of my thumb, as if to create a forked thumb. So now I've got a big gusher of a gash, which may require stitches. I've bandaged it up as tight as I could, and I'm leaving it alone for now. Mostly because if I went to ER I'd just have to sit for a few hours anyway, it being very non-life-threatening. I'm hoping it will be better in the morning, but I don't really know what to expect. Argh. I have to teach tomorrow too, so I can't just blow off work for a doctor.

Ow ow ow ow ow.

I have a gash on my thumb from a tin can (hint - never try to open SPAM with a tin opener).

If it requires stitches, yes, it will take forever at the ER, but at least it will be done.

If it needs stitches, and you don't get it taken care of, then you'll have an incredibly large and nasty scar. Otherwise, you have a neat little linear scar that you can brag to people about.

And how the hell did you type all that with a thumb gushing blood?

I resolved the "gushing blood" problem before starting work on the "I want to post about all this blood and pain" problem. :-)

Oh, so when people say they're doing "one-handed typing," that's what they mean?

There's a bunch of clumsy people on gay.com...

as Vinny observed, both our cuts occurred on our left hands... :)

It always pays to be ambidextrous...

(And my scar is on my left hand, too. I wonder if it's a gay thing.)
