So, yesterday I was cutting some baguette bread for lunch and I dont know what happened. I dont know if I was spacing out on my new wband or if I wasn't paying attention or what but my hand slipped and I sliced my finger, right across the nail. The knife went right through my nail, from about the middle top on an angle to halfway down the side. I couldn't look at it, luckily my FI was home and I was just holding my finger mumbling "I cant look, I cant look" and he looked and got a concerned look and said "uhh, it's not that bad, it's not that bad..." I didn't think he was very convincing and I looked, saw some blood and started shaking and almost passed out. Long story short, the nail was cut clean through but still hanging from the nail bed skin so we went to my doc, who was awesome. He thought he'd have to keep it attached until it healed and grew out, which I was NOT happy about, but in the end, after he cleaned it thoroughly he saw the cut wasn't that bad and there was only the smallest piece of skin holding that piece of nail on so he removed it (with copious amounts of numbing injections, thank god!), and now my finger's all bandaged up and the nail should grow out fine, fingers crossed, pun intended.
Of course as the good PSer I am, my immediate thought was, "crap! It's the finger next to my ring finger and I still have to take photos for PS today of my new wband and it'll look stupid with a bandaged finger!"
My point in sharing this little story is that we get so caught up sometimes in the minutae of life that we space out and can do something really stupid, like this. I'm lucky that I didn't sever my finger and I'm lucky that it happened during business hours so I could get to my doctor immediately and not have a $1000. ER bill! So with that in mind, take care this holiday weekend. Take time and slow down...I know I'm going to!
