'Tis Only a Flesh Wound!:

I hate being so flippin' accident prone! We all know what happened to my pinky (almost cutting it clean off with a pudding can lid. Yeah, pretty gross, but lesson learned. That doesn't stop me from slamming my thumb in between my van's sliding door and the front passanger door!

So Friday, while I was packing to head back to the ranch (home to PA), I went to slam the sliding door closed. What I didn't realize is that my right thumb was not clear from the door, so I gave it full force. The doors were locked, so I had to pull my thumb loss, leaving a nicely sized, black, blood bister underneath my nail.

It hurts like nothing else and had swollen to twice the size of my other thumb. So, I desided to go to the doctor. He processed to bore two wholes in my nail and sends me for an x-ray. Before I leave, he tells me that I should try to keep the holes open by heating up a paper clip and burning the holes open!

I'm not too sure how I feel about that, but I guess if it's caveman medicine that works... I must comply.

I just wish I wouldn't keep doing stupid stuff like this to my dominant hand!
