Gangrene and exotic blood diseases...
...are two things I really hope I don't have! I was using a saw yesterday to cut the stage props for our Peace and Justice forum. After the first ten minutes, I practically hacked half my finger off. But like the good DIY-person I am *snort*, I got back to work. Half an hour later, I sliced open the same finger, just above the first cut. The poor digit now looks like an extra from 'The Mummy', and I can hardly type.
I woke up extra early this morning to check it was still attached, and went around the house prodding everyone awake, and asking them if they didn't think it was just a little blue. No-one was very sympathetic. *cries* (with mirth) Being a hypochondriac really makes life more interesting : )
[edit] I've just heard that Princes Charles, Wills and Harry are coming to Waterford on Friday for Charles' bachelor party. I love Harry ;) *Note to self -get hair done* (LOL)
