So yesterday night I decided to spray around our house for ants. I got out the equipment, mixed up some kill-em solution and sprayed the area around my house without incident. After I was through I put everything away in the garage where it need to go. I cleaned a couple thing up in the garage and was on my way out of the garage when I shut the garage door and my finger got stuck in-between two of the panels in the door. The first thing that I noticed was that I was being held back by something as I was trying to walk forward. The pain didn't hit till a moment or two later. I tried to pull my finger free and it would not come free. By now the pain is excruciating. I finally threw my body backwards to yank my finger out. I held my tongue till I got in the house. As I came in I called to Kate and she thought I broke it but I could still move it. I had that finger in ice water for about two hours. I needed to go to bed and I knew I couldn't leave it in ice water for ever. I am not sure which the pain was coming from; the cold wearing off or the nerves sending pain signals to my brain. Whichever it was it hurt like H E double hockey sticks. I started to keep my hand above my head so that the blood would not rush to it. I got in bed and it felt as though someone was sticking needles under my nail trying to pry it off. All I could think of were those little monsters in that anti-fungle cream ad on TV!I am not really sure how I got to sleep except the drugs.
Today it is better but still sore. I am almost positive I bruised the bone. I was telling Kate that it was a good thing that the garage doors are not sharp because that would of cut the end of my finger right off.
Here is a picture of my nail.
And here is a picture of the dent my finger left in my garage door!
Painfully yours,
~Hosh~
