I was playing Frisbee today with some friends when someone threw the disc up onto a flat stone awning over one of the doors to the dorm. Since it was my frisbee and I never turn down an opportunity to climb stuff, I volunteered to retrieve it. I climbed up, and noticed lots of broken glass everywhere. "Hmm, I should be careful," I thought, and then tossed the frisbee down. That's when I noticed blood on my right hand. I have a few avulsions from jumping out of the window the other day (and again today as well 
) so I thought I had reopened them, but they were all good. I looked at my left hand, and blood was oozing at a high rate of speed from a gash on my thumb. So I jumped down, went inside, wahed it out, and put some gauze on it. It was quite an impressive laceration, maybe an inch long and fairly deep. We debated getting stitches, but when some gauze and tape stopped the bleeding, we figured we were good. So I went back outside and resumed playing frisbee
Being the geek that I am, of course I took pics of the aftermath. Tomorrow when I change the dressing I'll take some pics of the actual wound.
