A Flesh Wound

I...just cut my thumb while chopping wood.  Like ten minutes ago.  It hurts.  It's a cut across my thumbnail, not very deep thank goodness.  The axe bounced on my thumb; I wasn't swinging it or anything.

I've wrapped it up very tightly and I'm holding it above my heart (meaning I'm typing this one-handed. Hey, what else am I going to do while wounded?).  I think the most painful thing is my imagination re-living the chop of an axe, only harder and faster.  I am SO grateful I still have the tip of my thumb.  This is why chainsaws and tablesaws are the stuff of nightmares.  Give me a sewing machine or a loom any day!!!

I'll post pictures later.
