In which Lexi Becomes "That Kid"

I cut part of my finger off last week. Yep. With a paper cutter. One of those guillotine ones that I've used 1,327,954 times before in my life.


Technically, it didn't cut it all the way off. Just mostly, and technically it was not my entire finger, just a small piece on the side at the end. No bones or anything. I did almost throw up and then almost pass out however, which was a little bit of a shock to me because I don't really get grossed out that easily. (Let's get serious, I sell my bodily fluids a couple times a week) I just heard the slice, thought, "What the heck?! That was so stupid!"and then wrapped it in a tissue before I could even look to see what exactly happened. The sound told me it was not just a paper cut. I told my boss (yeah, happened at work), she looked and then drove me over to the health center. They told me it was a pretty clean slice so they wouldn't bother me with stitches. Instead they got a bunch of little strips of tape and some glue, taped me up, gave me a juice box and sent me on my merry way.

On Monday, a very mean doctor very viciously pulled those tape strips off and we had a look.



They had to give me another juice box.

Of course, juice boxes make everything better, right?

I'm sorry about your finger. That is not fun at all. I hope it heals quickly.

I have a scar almost exactly like that, only mine was with a scalpel, it didn't go all the way to the nail, and I consoled myself with fruit snacks.
