I Have Survived

Last Sunday I was preparing dinner. Spicy meatballs with pasta. I decided to add some chillies. I wasn't concentrating like I should. The knife slipped. The chillies were diced. And two fingers. Well, actually the tips of my second finger and thumb. I laughed it off. But when, two hours later, the bleeding would not stop, my wife insisted I visit the hospital. The photo above was taken in the waiting room, kitchen paper towelling saturated with the red stuff. The result was a couple of days wearing a massive white bandage.
But ... I survived!

Note: after the accident we ate the spicy meatballs and pasta.
Never did find those fingertips.
