Six Stitches

Here it is. The "accident" occurred February 6, 2026 at approximately 10:15AM.

I had trouble stopping the bleeding and wasn't sure I could drive myself to the ER, so I got my very first ambulance ride!

The first picture was taken in the ER after the bleeding had stopped and the wound had been irrigated, approximately 11:45AM.

About an hour after that, they had me stitched up. Just one stitch on the index finger. Might have gotten away without any there, but the proximity to the knuckle meant it would pull open easily. And then five stitches in the much deeper cut on the middle finger. I haven't had a lot of stitches, but I thought the PA did a really nice job.

And then two weeks later. You can see a bit of a scar, but just amazing.

The bad news is I still can't play the piano!
