Only a Flesh Wound
So. About three hours ago I was doing dishes and I took a small divot out of my index finger. I'm not sure what happened. I don't have much feeling in my fingers which makes everything challenging and gives birth to many typos. I just noticed the blood as it smeared on my shirt. I wrapped it in a paper towel and then put a bandaid on it.
Later I noticed that the bandaid was soaked through and I was smearing blood on my book. Ok. Clean, dry and another, thicker bandaid.
Just now I showered before bed. Again the bandaid was soaked but the bleeding seems slower, so after the shower I dried it again and wrapped it in gauze and a bandage.
No. It's not that deep of a cut. The problem is I've never been a good clotter and now, with the aspirin and things to prevent blood clots in my brain I'm ever worse. I must inspect myself for wounds, bruises and the like since I don't necessarily feel the injury. And then I must make sure it stops bleeding.
A little blood can smear and look like a much worse injury. Now soaking my shirt. Really it's only a flesh wound.

Note: I wrote this last night but had to wait until today to post. Yes, the bleeding is mostly stopped unless I whack my finger against something.
