With just a flick of the thumb. (Don't look now ...)

Well, I have gone and done it. Somehow, today, while roping large logs down, I managed to hurt my thumb.
It's on my right hand, I popped a blood vessel inside it, under the knuckle below the thumbnail. It swelled up for about an hour, pressure was there, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to bend it till the swelling went down. After the hour, my body must have fully healed the popped vessel. The swelling went back down, and it's nearly normal size. All I have is this small (1/2" x 1/3") circle of blood deep inside my thumb. Others would probably say that it was incredibly painful ... I could feel it ... but I'm desensitized to pain, more of a curiousity than actual pain. (when I ground down my left hand knuckles to the bones / cartilage, that WAS painful) ... I'm not sure what happened to my thumb ... roped down a 200 lb log, then it just kind of felt like my thumb had a pebble rubbing it in my glove, took my hand out, and could still feel the pebble on my thumb (though nothing was there or in my glove), then the swellig happened, and I realized that a blood vessel was broken as the darkness of interior blood showed. It then felt half numb, then pressure built up.

... I am a fast healer. Doctors have been amazed by how fast I recover / heal. Appears that I heal about three times faster than expected ... I dunno, always been like that. Guess that's why I have so very few visible<b> scars.

</font></b>Anyway, it's much better, I can use it ... just completed a class test, getting ready for the final in that class now ... yuck.

... feels like I'm forgetting to post something that I had wanted to post earlier ... dunno ... dunno.

Well, we signed up for taking finals. Might be tough now, but it will be better later

Wait, I signed up to learn, I guess as long as I learned something, it would be worth it.

Good luck with your finals!
