time well wasted...or not
So today I managed to find the one hole in the tiles at the pool and gash my fingers open on it. This painful event was accompanied by copious amounts of gushing blood, and about a pound of gauze. What followed was my coach telling me I needed stiches, me getting out of practice early to drive myself to the hospital (one handed), waiting around at the hospital FOREVER, and in the end, having the doctor tell me that he can't stich it because I'm missing a chunk of finger and the edges of my wound don't meet.
So they gave me something-or-other to make the blood clot faster, packed my hand in ice, let me sit around a while, and then sent me home with some large band-aids. ALL THAT, AND ALL I GET IS A LOUSY BAND-AID??? hmphf!
On an interesting note: in order to continue to train with my new wound, I have to wear something over it to keep as much water off as possible.
The doctor recommends? ..."finger condoms". Ha!
