Where's Slim's Blood?

A new Low is reached. If my "Life and Times" weren't boring enough, you can now check back for the on-going progression of blood under my thumb-nail.

Just near 1 month ago, we had our FTX (Field Training Exercise) and I smashed my left thumb setting up a cot. It hurt, so freakin' bad, but despite my being alone, I didn't cry. But it was close. 8 June, everyone was at evening chow on the 1st day. I stayed behind to monitor ops on the shower shave, waiting to get relieved. I decided to set up cots to sit on , as it was our staging area,and I pinched my thumb just below the nail. The base of my nail turned blue.

M.K. said I'd lose the nail, he was wrong. Take that M.K.!

So now the blood pocket has traveled half-way up my nail. It is definitely half-way. This picture is on 4 July. Keep coming back to watch my blood rise! If the pictures no good, tough. The flash is a bitch to control. Try to photo yer own nail!
