there's this porcelain towel holder in our bathroom that I was hanging off of and it broke, and it just sliced the everloving f*** out of my hand and I've been trying for the past three hours to get the bleeding to stop and it finally did.
I have about 20 bandages on my hand right now and I really hope this doesn't lead to a hospital visit.
Despite this my day was overall pretty successful. I missed my workout over this and had to skip taking notes on a book and studying japanese but on the plus side I got emailed back by this writer I was asking advice from, agreed to have a japanese student stay at my house for two weeks in august, and bought a new pair of headphones.
how was your day, board 8?

Thanks, me too. I poured a bunch of peroxide on it after rinsing it for about 30 mins straight. Still paranoid as hell about infection but I can't keep myself up all night over this.

Well that's worse than me burning the living crap out of one of my fingers

I nearly sliced the tip of my thumb off in high school working at this seafood resturaunt.
I was peeling onions and my boss saw me struggling so he gave me a brand new knife. Got to take it out of the package and every thing.
I found out quickly how sharp it was. First swipe I missed the onion and hit my thumb. The last 2 millimeters of flesh were hanging by a very thin piece of skin while the blood pumped out like a spicket. 8 stitches.
If it's bad enough that you bled for three hours that's gonna leave a gnarly scar. But yeah, hope it heels quickly and without further incident.
And oh yeah, why were you hanging from the towel holder?
When I was ten, while an episode of DS9 was airing for the first time, I was so excited to get back in front of the TV with my grandmother before the commercials ended but I had to feed the cats, so I ripped open the cat food can and accidentally very nearly ripped my entire thumb off as well. I was dripping such a ridiculous puddle of blood from my thumb and partially my index finger.
I walked up pretty casually, and was like, "I... think I need to go to the hospital," and apparently it was so casual that my grandmother told everyone about how ridiculously casual it was until about a year before she died, and if it weren't for the terminal cancer hitting her brain I'm sure she would have kept going on about it instead of ranting about tomatoes for seven hours (actually f***ing happened; brain cancer is f***ed up, dudes and dudettes.)
Anyway, I'll certainly always have a scar on that thumb, and unlike the rest of 'em, it's over some serious bulls*** and not even like, a cool story. But damn, they put like fifteen stitches on my THUMB. Geez, almost lost it.
For the record since I know the fans are anxious, yes, I got to watch the encore of the ep at like eleven while recovering at the hospital, so don't worry, I didn't really miss the ep.

Actually from a circular saw, and that picture is 2 weeks afters the fact.
Bleeding stopped around 10-13 hours later. Of course you always feel stupid in hindsight. I simply moved a board when I shouldn't have moved it. I guess the good news was that my finger wasn't actually holding the power button when it hit them. Otherwise if it was, all my finger tips would probably be gone right now.
Otherwise the bleeding never would have stopped, and if I tried to stop it on my own, my fingers probably would have died. I cut 3-4 arteries in my fingers.
Infection would be terrible too. I would get it checked out if you can.
