"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 have to admit up until i read the 4 fingers bit i thought it was true, then i imagined you trying to type this post.

Yes. I had a friend lose a hand somehow due to a forklift truck.

Dont be silly.

Qualcast make crap mowers.

And the thing is- reading it myself I thought peopel would realise after the first few lines.

How odd. Ah well.

Thanks then, I think. :D

Strangely i dreamt last night that my left hand was gammy.

I had it, but it couldn't do anything, i remember something about getting the useless limb replaced with a claw, then i heard the post hitting the floor and i woke up.

but chipseh you tell it so well.

Even though I've never met you I can still picture you with this 'what's going on here' look on your face while reaching into your qualcast. :D

Writing a story about suicide makes it obvious that it's a story, because you don't survive after it.

But you do survive after losing a hand.

It seriously read like an 'open diary' entry.


You scare me.

;)

Yes, I guess so.

Ah well. It's just funny that a few motnhs ago I wrote a story about suicide and everyone said it was good, then I write a stroy about losing a hand and I got called a twisted sick idiot. If you look at it that way it's weird, huh?

Chipseh, The fact that he read as real is a compliment.

I didn't read it as a story (:-P), mainly because of the Topic title and that smilie.

:-D
