On that Happy Tree Friends Moment
Yesterday goes down in history as my most memorable day ever.
I got half day off for work done over the weekend, and decided to go home for a coffee before blading at East Coast.
Just as I was washing the mug, it slipped from my hands into the basin, and burst upon impact. My right hand cut right into one sharp edge just as I was retracting it.
The glass cut right through the flesh all around the base of the ring finger.. the bone being exposed.
Screaming and yelling.. I watched as the blood spurted out of the vein all round the walls and basin... and then it started shooting in small spurts, like a fountain.
Luckily Mum was at home, and she stemmed the bleeding by making me grip a mound of gauze, which quickly started dripping.
We quickly grabbed our ICs and hopped on a cab to TTSH Accident and Emergency, where I received 8 stitches and a lot of painkillers.
Now we're just waiting for my appointment with a hand surgeon next week, cos there's a chance I may lose nerve feelings in that finger.
May not be able to play on the piano normally again... but I'm thankful I still have all 5 fingers in place.
