it's hard to type while one's right forefinger is bound in several layers of gauze and one's other fingers are applying pressure.

i wonder how long is it safe to bleed? already soaked through a white towel, a bandaid, and eight (quad-fold pad wrapped around) layers of gauze. i'm pretty sure i'm not cut to the bone.

la la la. and i didn't finish installing the damn antenna. grrr. i need a drill and some metal bits. yes indeedy. stupid jagged steel biting my finger didn't slow me down, but lack of a drill did.

oh, and we hiked up to humpback rocks today. woohoo! one mile and 800 vertical feet.

that felt good. when it didn't hurt and dizzify.

wow. i suppose it depends on how fast you're bleeding. well, i hope the bleeding stops soon, and that you feel better - i have a drill, but it's a bit of a drive. :)

and that sounds *really* high.

If you were here I could use some lovely plastic surgery suture and suture your finger with a very very minimal scar left behind. yeehaw.

hope you're not still bleeding by now, i'm pretty sure that'd be a bad thing.

congrats on the hiking though, gotta love being able to attempt hiking!

if "hiking" is defined as climbing a mountain, stopping every 30-100 feet to rest, that's what i did.

it's hiking, CFIDS style. ;)

walk 50 feet, wait for pulse to slow down to one's resting rate of 100bpm. repeat.

i did make it up to the rocks in an hour. rested a bit, then clambered over the rocks to look down on tbe shendandoah valley. gorgeous. :)

that's considered a hike. :) Congrats, sounds like a beautiful time.

I hope your finger's feeling better. *smooch smooch*

Dude. My email's been on and off all weekend, and I JUST got your emails about dinner. :( That's why I'm replying here and not via email - I can't SEND anything right now. Poop. So it isn't that I hate you and Boy. Oh no. Just that Adelphia sucks.

Humpback is no joke of a hike! I used to do it all the time before my allergies made it more of a torture than a thrill. Damn gorgeous views and how cool is it to sit up on the rocks? Wow. I last went up a few New Years' ago, and we flew kites. It was awesome.
