I nearly sliced off a finger with a salmon can today. There was a lot of blood. I had a similar injury two years ago, after I moved into an apartment (as kind of a Living Skills experiment after my operation). That scar is further down on the same ring finger. Maybe subconsciously I'm trying to eliminate my empty ring finger? After I bled through the first wound-dressing, I was getting a new band-aid from the First Aid kit in the hall. A guy walked by (while I was Lamaze breathing due to the pain of the antisceptic on the cut) and said, "Don't type so hard."
