I whacked my finger with a hammer today. I use a hammer everyday in my work and I had the notion to turn the hammer sidewards on for some reason. I misjudged the width of the head and wham, my finger received a hard hitting metal head and pain ensued! 6 hours on, my finer is still throbbing with more than a hint of purple now embedded under the nail. Will I still have a fingernail there tomorrow? I hope so. Rakia to drown my pain this evening!
