Um...
During an art class in school, i was chosen with othrs to carry some old gcse work from a classroom. I was carrying one wich was a paper mache globe thing with 2 towers made of sharp drinkinbg cans, mounted on some card govered in wax. I was holding it with this boy and just when I thought *oh, better not lose my grip* i lost my grip and dropped it. the boy starts tellingme how stupid i was, looks at me with horror and runs off. I go after him and realise my hole class is either scared shitless or yelling.

Ever seen the xmas episode of Bottom when rick kits his thumb off and its squirting everywhere? Well little did i know that was happening to me (i didnt cut my thumb off, id cut a meatball sized chunk out of where the thum meets the hand), blood pulsating and spraying my red stuff all over the place. I just looked at i8t and went,"oh" cause I hadnt and stil didnt feel a thing.

Anyways, ran to loo which my *male* teacher followes, trying to put pressure on my hand which was now dead white, get phisically dragged (id gon through shock which was really scary)to the first aide room the other side of school where the nurse thinks its a scratch untill i lifed 4 of the 17 (yes i counted) paper towels and it sterted to drip on the floor. NICE! I was thinking *at least i have an excuse to skip french!* but my hand was getting sore.
Went to A&E with mum, got seen to by a guy that had very strong accent/knowing not much english, who put a injection IN THE FUCkING WOUND! which amde me scream and kick, followed by loads of stitched and crap that i showed everyone.

Turns out (id kinda guessed) id seathered the nerve and nipped the side of that blood vessel/artery in your thumb. Any closer in my nad i would have lost more blood and been really in the shit.
Have a nice scar and numbness on one half of the thumb.

I feel sorry for the caretaker who had to mop up all my blood and finding the mishing chunk of my hand!

*sorry for length, its a funny story*
