Ouch.

So, I will have to keep this short because it is difficult to type right now. Had a bit of an accident with Arrow on Thursday.

I was over at the park throwing around her ball when we saw this stick. It was like, the epitome of a fetch stick. So I started throwing it around and she was loving it. I was holding it up in the air and she was jumping up for it when she missed the stick and bit into my finger. I was scared to look but I was pretty sure it wasn't good. My friend Regan came to pick me up to go to the emergency room where, in the next 5 HOURS I had x-rays of my finger, got a tetanus shot, two needles to freeze my finger, and lost half my fingernail on index finger on my right hand.

It was quite the ordeal. I would post a picture of my finger but it's too gross.

Anyway, I'm okay, but it definitely hurts a lot and it makes typing and writing and holding utensils and lots of stuff pretty difficult! Oh, and it comes at an inopportune time, when I am trying to finish up the term and I have lots of assignments due.



Oh, the doctor said the fact that I have gel nails probably saved my finger from a lot more damage because otherwise she might have bit into my finger. Good reason to have gel nails!!

Thanks, SSC! It is getting better. I'm looking forward to when it's grown back and looks normal again!
