As a fellow guitarist I always sympathize with others who have injuries that prevent them from playing our favorite instrument. I always try to take care of my hands and I'm usually cautious with anything that can injure my hands or fingers, which would hold me back from my #1 passion. Well, I fucked that up today.
I just moved to a bigger city, needed some extra money, so a friend of a friend needed help today with some work he was doing for someones house. Power washing the brick, sidewalks, driveway, cleaning windows, etc. I've done stuff 10x more hazardous than this without injuries lol. We were throwing stuff to each other most of the day and we had about 30 mins left, he asked me to throw him a window scraper while he was on his high ladder. I know, this is the kind of shit where you think, "What the fuck were those two idiots thinking?" I threw it to him, but he missed and I tried to catch it. I thought I caught it. It tore my right hand index finger to shit.
Who knew those window scrapers were so damn sharp? Blood was just squirting out everywhere. I thought I cut my finger off. The concrete patio was filled with a puddle of blood in seconds. I ran onto the lawn and starting getting dizzy and looked at my hand. Fortunately I didn't cut my finger off, it's just a really deep cut. Luckily, the guy I was working with gave me his e cigarette. I took a hit, which kept me from passing out. I guess I'm kind of a pussy. I'm not a smoker, but I have to give nicotine props this time... He grabbed a rag and tied as tight as he could around my finger; it stopped the bleeding.
This sucks though. I can't play guitar now. My finger is bandaged to shit and I can't hold a pick or play fingerstyle. I used some nu skin glue, but the cut is too wide and most of it isn't coming together. I put some butterfly bandaids on it too; hopefully that would hold it together and heal.
I can't believe how stupid I am! This is the kind of stuff I make fun of people doing, now I did it.

I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! 
I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.
