I went to work, as usual. I was doing the dishes and stuff. I went to pull a part of the veggie slicer out of the sanitizing water, but my hand was stuck. Stupidly, I tried to yank myself free. I think I only made it worse. So then I pull the 5 lb chunk of metal and plastic out, and my finger begins to bleed profusely. My middle finger was stuck between a long curved blade and the rest of the slicer.

At thist point I'm a little worried, and I yell out to the girls in front. One of them comes back and freaks out. She swears a few times and then tries to assess the situation. There's no way my finger was coming out unless the blade itself had its screws removed.

So I'm standing back there, with Gretchen holding the bulk of this blade mechanism, and I'm bleeding into her gloved hands and making a mess of blood on the floor. D: I also apologized a lot. I don't know why. I guess I feel bad whenever something bad happens.

So Jamie calls the paramedics. The first guy who began examining called into his radio. I don't remember what all he said into his radio, but when he called for a phillips screwdriver I just had to laugh.

They finally find a screwdriver, and once they begin on the first screw, the stupid blade TIGHTENED against my finger more. So they had to stick a piece of wood into the other end to prevent hurting me further.

None of my family was home/available, and the other girls would have been too squeemish to be able to drive me to the ER. So instead I get to take a trip in an ambulance. Once I got to the hospital the doctor tried to numb my hand. He stuck me twice with a novacaine type of drug, and it didn't help the pain at all. In fact, the freaking needles he used bumped against my bones a couple of times which hurt pretty bad. When I told him it still hurt, he stuck me a third time. The next time he asked if it was feeling better, I lied to him. I just didn't want to be stuck again with another needle.

I forgot to mention this. The blade sliced through my fingernail. They were telling me that if it did enough damage I'd have to have my fingernail removed completely. Thankfully I didn't have to get rid of it.

So... yeah. This has been a wierd day. My hand hurts like a bitch and it's super awkward to type without my middle finger. I have a psychology paper to do today, too. Blahhh.



>_< I guess that's it. I'm really sorry for those I owe art. I was drawing and trying to get stuff done yesterday, and if I can stifle the pain with enough advil I'll see about drawing.

*Also the blood and all would have looked seriously cool if it didn't hurt so bad. xD Movie gore is interesting... but it's crazy when it's real and happening to you.
