I know this was a tough week. I picked a subject that even when I chose it, I didn't know what I was going to do.
As luck would have it, while helping my roommate Chuy on Saturday switch the pedals from his road bike onto a new mountain bike that he had just purchased, I had to pull really hard and as it gave way, my pinky finger went smashing into the large crank for the chain. As I initially stared down at my finger, I saw that two of the teeth had punctured the skin right above my second knuckle and wrapped 2/3 around my finger. As I bent my pinky and saw how deep the cut was, I could see the white glint of my bone before the blood began to pour (and boy did it pour for awhile).
Enough with the graphic words though. Needless to say, my pinky is swollen, bruised, and unbendable. I'm thankful that the cut was on the top and did not damage the muscle. So other than telling an overly graphic story, where's the picture you may ask? Well since that wonderful Saturday afternoon as I have been redressing my wound (I didn't feel like getting stitches at the hospital), then I tried to capture materials that I've been using to protect my wound to bring my pinky back to health. So here goes.
I wanted to focus on the center of the wrap and the medical scissors, but also have an unfocused vision of the hydrogen peroxide (my arch-nemesis) in the background. I tried to use the warm light of my bathroom to give anti-fluorescent-hospital color.
Sorry for the tough subject for this week. :-8
