My finger hurts less

I got my fingernail drained. My friends Katy and Chris determined that it looked worse today than yesterday, so I sucked it up and went to the emergency room at GWUH.

I thought maybe a Sunday would be relatively slow, but I had to wait about three hours before anyone saw me. Not that surprising - my emergency wasn't really an emergency - but it was a long afternoon, and I didn't have a book because I went straight from Eastern Market.

Anyway, they stuck a hole in it, squeezed all the blood out (I didn't watch), wrapped it up in a huge bandage and gave me a tetanus shot. And that was that. I'm probably going to lose the nail, but I was prepared for that. I should have taken a photo of it all big and blue. I didn't, but check out my bandaged finger.

Awesome day. Sarcastically speaking.

Update 7/7

Changed the bandage on my finger. Don't look at the photo up close if you're easily grossed out.
