Not so yay...

Today was a pretty unique today, as I seldom get injured, ever.

As nobody here knows, I've been working with my father for the summer in construction.
So he told me to go cut a few metal rods to suspend pipes to the ceiling.
So I did that.
Right after I finished sawing the rod in half, my hand slipped, and I cut the skin open on my right index finger.
To the bone.
It wasn't painful.
But it bled a lot.
So now I have a finger that's opened up, and I don't know how long it'll take for it to mend itself back together.

But it reminded me of a long time ago when I grew a sunflower in a small pot.
It was about a half a metre tall, and the pot go knocked over.
The stem broke.
My heart was broken.
That was the only plant I ever cared about.
But I wanted it to LIVE!
I got a small splint, put it in the soil and taped the sunflower to it.

After a few weeks I found the sunflower had mended its stem back together, and that it could once again stand up again by itself!
Triumph!!!

Anyway, yeah, I got a solder burn today as well, but that's not interesting.

You should go to the doctors to get it checked out as It can go infected and turn nasty. You might even need a stitch or two.

The cut's no longer than a cm. But I'm gonna go see a doctor in 2 days anyway.
I sterilized it bandaid'd it, and put duct tape over it to apply more pressure.

I get solder burns every time I pick up the iron.

I get solder burns every time I pick up the iron.

They aren't anything horrible, but they can sting for hours. It may have not been the actual solder either, it could've been hot soldering paste.

Aww the sunflower story was the best part.
It's so cute in its own nature-y way.
