I went to put a signed photo of Ben Vareen into a frame in my office today and somehow injured the end of my left ring finger.
It bled quite heavily for over an hour. I decided that the injury was small enough that unless it seemed to cause me a bigger problem that I wasn't going to go to seek medical treatment for it. That was just after 12 p.m.
It's now just after 5 p.m. and while the bleeding isn't what it was five hours ago, it still hasn't stopped entirely. I've been wondering now if I should go to urgent care tonight after I get home from work. I did get the workmen's comp form just in case.
I am hoping it just finally stops and once it does that the healing goes quickly.
Picture frames can be much more dangerous than they appear. I'm living (bleeding) proof.
