*Update*

After 24 hours, I finally took out the bandage n this is what my finger looked liked. See, told ya it was nothing to be worried about!

Oh How Shit Happens...

Well, I've been often plagued with the question of why I never update my blog for such a long time. Mainly I give the reason that nothing interesting is going on and I will update if there is. Well, had sorta freak accident earlier today. Nothing major la don't worry, well, this is rather kinda sohai, I got a mechanical pencil lead inserted right through my left ring finger! Might not sound much but it is kinda annoying and a bigger deal then I initially thought.

Here's how it happened : I had a paper today so as usual, we aren't suppose to bring our pencil case into the exam hall rite? So I stuffed my stationary into my pockets and when I reached into my pocket to take em out, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my left hand. Took a look and see and what ya know, the pencil lead broke ngam ngam at the start of the nail there, and not to say lodge on the surface of the skin, oh no, it went like 45 degrees into the flesh! And whats more fucked up was, I couldn't do anything bout it cos the exams was about to begin. Wasn't bugging me much throughout the paper thankfully cos the venue was frekin cold and my hands were freezing :D.

So I thought to myself ok la, later go back n bedah myself ( I know, stupid idea). Then when I came back, I tried to cut the skin abit and use a pair of tweezers to pull it out but to no avail, it looked like it went deeper instead! Then my housemate pula say he'd give it a go and before I could say anything, he was already at it. KNNCCB, it was painful but not that unbearable though, but as you've might guess, we only made it worse. So last resort, terpaksa lah go clinic.


'Tools' that we used initially, no the pick wasn't one of em

But even the doctor had trouble taking it out, he was like digging into my finger with he's pair of forceps. It took him several tries mainly cos the lead had already broken (wonder if I'll get lead poisoning o.o) and I couldn't actually feel it cos I was on local anesthesia but I could still feel like someone scraping inside my finger! Haha.. too bad I didn't think of bringing my camera along for that though and I forgot to take a picture b4 I went to d doctor. But not to worry, I did take some after-treatment pics below. Don't fret they ain't gory.


My finger looks like a cabbage roll! Lol.. typing is a bitch now..

So anyways, the doctor said he manage to get all of the lead out but the wound was still kinda dirty (whatever that meant in detail) cos of the residue of lead and the clinic didn't have the right tools to clean it up. He said he was quite sure I'd make a full recovery but if it turns septic, I gotta go to the hospital and get a deeper incision to clean it out for good *gulp*. Hopefully I don't have to la. So after dressing up my finger and 38 bucks worth of meds later, I'm back home.

First thing I did was pop 2 pain killers cos the LA was wearing of fast, could not only feel pain but also my pulse throbbing in my finger! Wish they would give my vicodin instead! ahhaa... Then I can pretend to be House abit. lol. Gotta keep the bandage on for the next 24 hours so in that time, I can't play my guitar and I find typing without 1 finger pretty annoying ( I know I know, should think bout people without hands!)


Too bad it wasn't the middle finger though, then I'd have an excuse to flip someone off!

Well, thats all for now, think I'll be going off to sleep now, lack of sleep in the last 24 hours.. Normal la, exam period ;)
