Finger Gore


Don't even ask! Cut myself. I was washing my dog's large glass waterbowl when it slipped outa my hands and shattered on the edge of the sink literally in between my hands. Sliced thru a small artery and sprayed blood on two walls, the sink, the clean dishes, the dirty dishes, the floor, the fridge, myself, and even on one of my cats (Maki) who happened to be walking through. All in about 5 seconds or less that it took me to get it wrapped into a towel. Looked like a murder scene from CSI. I have never seen so much of my blood and from my freakin' frettin' hand pinky for freaks sake! The finger is south of numb for the most part indicating nerve damage. I'm optimistic that it'll return but how much and how soon is hard to say. Ouch! On a positive and encouraging note, I missed the tendons and I didn't have to pick my pinky up off of the floor! I'm not sure I would have remembered to put it on ice if that had been the case. Thats just the kind of morning it was.

Texas

Yo. Howdy. We're off to Texas for 10 days. We'll be seeing old friends, family, and downing some way cool tex-mex & BBQ. I heard today that the beers are giant. Sounds good to me 'cause I'm ready to vacate. I'll try to post along the way.
