Life mini-update

[cashew]

I've cut my finger and can't type. Well, correction, I can't blind type, because my finger is wrapped in a thick dressing and I can't feel the keys.

Thankfully I hadn't needed to get stitches (having lab flashbacks when I had a surgery accident 😭 and had to go to the ER), but it's been awkward doing day-to-day stuff because I have to avoid getting the wound wet, which means doing everything one-handed.

So no story updates until my finger heals.

Yeah, I've heard of liquid bandaid. I don't think liquid bandaid is gonna cut it here, since the cut went pretty deep. Not deep enough to cut artery (whew), but bad enough that it took a lot of cold compresses to finally close the cut. My estimate is that it's about 3-4mm deep and about 1cm long, and thankfully the scar seemed to have closed the cut with the flesh attached (rather than separated, which is what I was most worried about). Still can't really put pressure on the finger tho'. Too much percussive/repetitive pressure might split the finger again. I'm just gonna have to wait about a week for the wound to heal up enough to withstand repetitive pressure before I try typing with the finger.

Yep. Sliced into my finger over a stubborn lemon. Ha ha... 😅
