.... cause last night i lopped off part of a thumb!

just a nasty flesh wound, I was working on my commuter and somehoworother my left thumb got too close to the spinning disc brake and wap! one of those priceless "I sure wish I could rewind 5 seconds" moments

Big chunck of skin hanging off a nasty dirty wound, blood going everywhere, part of the nail hanging off. I lopped off the loose stuff with the kitchen sissors, put on pressure, and went to one of those minor emergency places.

$100 and a tetnus booster later, I grabbed a Dum-Dum lolly pop on the way out, which I thought most appropriate.

I was running on 3 hrs sleep last night and was quite fatigued... I work in a plant environment, heavy, moving, hot, sharp, dangerous equipment everyhwere, and have never hurt myself, and here I go home and hurt myself on a dam' bicycle!

I plan on driving for the next few days till the wound is scabbed over. I'm afraid of popping it open on the bike, plus it's been very very rainy and I'd hate to show to work (a food plant no less!) with a big wet thumb bandage all dripping blood everywhere.

that is my tale of woe.
