*Insert profuse swearing (denoting intense physical pain) here*

Just got back from the emergency room. Reader's Digest version -taking out garbage in the garage, slipped, and sliced my left inside forearm wide open on a busted light tube. Stopped just short of the tendons, big nasty long cut. Blood. LOTS of blood.

I got extremely lucky on two counts - one, the assistant professor of surgery was on hand to do the stitching. Two, Ranada was right there when it happened. So yeah, things could have been much, much worse.

Ow.

AwwwShitManThatBites. Light tubes are toxic enough to be considered hazardous waste 'round here, though I doubt anyone bothers with that. Hugs later and GOOD DRUGS now, cod.
