    Hope it's not too sore Z and that you are all feeling a bit better today.

    Yikes! Fingers that stay together are good ... that must be really, really sore, though :( hope it heals quickly.

    Ironically, considering how serious the wound was (a little harder and I'd have been running down the garden chasing a departing digit) it has hurt surprisingly little.

    The worst part of it was a nurse sticking a cannula in, missing the vein, and then wiggling the end of the needle as prescribed in "Venous Fishing by J. R. Hartley"...

    It was next to the other finger (and still is - thankfully) and it was a long blade...

    It's what they're paid for - they're not there doing you a favour.
