Happy Hump Day isn't very happy. The thumb is still sore. Not as much as it was, but still sore. So, because I hate to disappoint, I will regale you with a short anecdote from this weekend. After I cut my thumb I was sitting in the ER waiting for them to figure out how they were going to treat me. They had already removed the bandage I had applied and were looking at what to do next. While they were waiting, (note that my thumb was still leaking slowly), they decided I needed a tetanus shot.
As the corpsman went to put the shot into my right arm (note that the thumb in question is the right thumb), I quipped, "aren't you afraid it's going to leak out the thumb?"
He stopped with the needle an inch from my arm and gave me a look that said, "did I just hear you right?" I just gave him my best innocent smile and he burst out laughing.
Unfortunately, that was the last of the laughter for a while, but at least I was able to keep my sense of humor (what there is of it anyway).
Hopefully that will hold you off for a while. Thank you for your support and prayers. Have a wonderful day.
