Aug. 11th, 2002 08:13 pmit'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.

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