smonster could you go to urgent care in the morning if you can get it wrapped with tape tonight?
Update from Will - his niece had her baby. She was 2 lbs 11 ozs and they haven't named her yet. But they are both doing well.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Glad to hear niece and baby are doing well! Continued ~ma for them.
Urgent care doesn't open until 10 am, which would make it about 17 hrs after I cut myself, so they might not be able to stitch it anyway if I wait that long.

Oh, this is wonderful. Thank you for the update.

(Okay, decided. I'm just going to shower, spray it with Neo to Go, and tape it so I can't bend the finger unthinkingly, and hope the edges heal together overnight. ) /wound me me me

Please don't bleed out in your sleep, smonster!

Dude, it's not really bleeding any more. It's just that (whitefont for sensitive types) the edges are gaping. There definitely wasn't any spurting, so i didn't hit a large blood vessel. I can't see bone or anything. It'll be fine. I'll have a scar. Any signs of infection, I'm for sure heading to the doctor, because lymphangitis is not something I want to make a habit of.

Feel free to make a up good story about the knuckle scar then.
"So Fred Phelps opened his big fat mouth one time too many..."
I hope you've got something to mitigate the throbbing and the pain.

Almost anything is better than "I gashed my knuckle open scraping dried Bondo off a putty knife. Stupidly." Now taking suggestions...
It hurt like hell when it happened and washing it out hurt "like a son of a bitch in bastard sauce," to quote Teppy, but it's not bothering me right now. Typing is only a little awkward with the splint.

'Gator attack? I hope it heals up quickly.
I just watched Bunheads. It's been a while since I watched something aimed at the teen demo. The ads were all, "Zit. Makeup. Zit. Pixar DVD. Fashion. Food. Zit." Plus ads for every other show ABC Family runs. But mostly ways to deal with zits. I now have the urge to exfoliate down to my freakin' bone marrow.
