You asked for it...
I hit the end of my left thumb with a hatchet two nights ago when chopping kindling for the fire. SWMBO bound it up and sent me off to A&E (I believe it's called ER in the US) yesterday morning for attention. A roughly 4-hour stay involved tetanus injections, complete local anaesthetic of the thumb, carving out a chunk of nail with a scalpel, removal of a lump of wood and then five stitches to re-attach the top 4mm of what was left of my thumb to the remaining and substantially larger portion. About the only good thing is that I insist on keeping a sharp axe and so the cut was most remarkably clean and precise with no crushing visible at all. Life. Don't talk to me about life. |

Though you did exactly what Father Sergius did, your motivation was arguably different.
(Wikipedia's account of the short story lacks fine details, but he did it exactly with a axe.) |

[In Paul's case the ratios appear to be roughly reversed, but nonetheless a riff on a famous song seems apt]
Let me tell you how it will be There's one for you, nineteen for me Cos I'm the axman, yeah, I'm the axman Should five per cent appear too small Be thankful I don't take it all Cos I'm the axman, yeah I'm the axman If you drive a car, I'll ax the street If you try to sit, I'll ax your seat If you get too cold I'll ax the heat If you take a walk, I'll ax your feet Axman! Cos I'm the axman, yeah I'm the axman Don't ask me what I want it for (Aahh Mr. Wilson) If you don't want me to chop some more (Aahh Mr. Heath) Cos I'm the axman, yeah, I'm the axman Now my advice for those who die Keep a tight grip on your eyes Cos I'm the axman, yeah, I'm the axman And you're bleeding for no one but me Axman! |

I'm sorry to hear that, I'm glad Addenbrookes were able to fix it up, and pleased (also, unsurprised) that you have good tools and so it was a clean cut. I imagine it makes typing tiresome because you want to use the left thumb on the space bar and can't.

My workplace is under an evacuation order, due to a wind driven fire. Some parts of the site have suffered damage. 9 years ago we lost buildings, vehicles, and various other infrastructure and equipment. I am safe and away from the fire. Holding my breath, waiting to see what has been lost.
