"Just got back from Hospital.. :("

I feel ill. Really ill.

The coincidence of such an event is uncanny. I can see why you're all so afraid to go to the Hospital, for I, myself, have just been there.

I was mowing the lawn this afternoon, and I was nearly finished when some stupid friggin' grass clogged the blade. I went underneath to unclog it, when the blade span up again and sliced off my hand. Clean.

Why the hell didn't I turn off the Lawnmower first? The pain in my arm is so bad. It's also covered in Iodine. And it hurts.

And the worst part? They couldn't reattach it. I now have to go through life with only 4 fingers. And I have already found problems.

It had to be my writing hand, didn't it? If it was going to be either of my hands, it would be the one that I write with. I also do most things with my right hand, including, well, y'know.

And the thing is, I still feel like I still have my hand there. I want to go feel it but I can't. It's so frustrating.

I look at the stump, all rapped in bandages. How could I have been so stupid? No one leaves the lawnmower running to go and stick their hand under and unclog it. What a fool I am.

I can see this seriously affecting my outlook on life. I had seriously low self-esteem beforehand (Pun not intended), and now I have to face life's challenges with only one hand. I don't want to cry, I really don't, but the only way I could vent my anger was by telling you guys.

"Go do the lawn Howard. I've been calling you for 10 minutes!"

I slowly rub my eyes. With both hands.

How could a be so stupid? What a fool I am. I was just dreaming.

Mowing the lawn has never been so rewarding until now. I look at my hand and wonder what life would be without it, and I feel I have already been able to gaze through the window and see.

And before I can think, the blade clogs. I slowly reach under to unclog it, unconscious of the fact that the motor is still chugging…

I add myself to the list of people you so cleverly fooled, Chipseh.

Very well done.

Stop toying with my emotions, Howard.

Damn you - I was taking it in until I read several lines past the 4 fingers comment. Then it struck me as eh? lost finger or lost hand.

Only then did it truely dawn on me who had posted the topic :)

Well, this was certainly a better a better outcome then I was expecting.

*sniggers*

What ever your on, can I have some?

Thank fug it was a story! I only realised at the end!

I mowed the lawn today, got shouted to do so, and am also called Howard. I'm living in a parallel universe to you, Howard.

I had images of you using your face to type because you had no fingers.
