Cutting it Close
U/Im-addicted-to-memes: “I was carrying the half of a little tree that I was cutting down while I cleared brush away from my shed. I considered raising my hand a little higher before making the last swing. When I didn’t, and I swung, the machete struck my finger instead of going through the branch.
I didn’t chop off my finger because my fingers were curled around the branch, and the machete struck at an angle, but it cut deep enough to strike an artery, leaving my finger gushing blood. Thirteen stitches were required in total. That was a fun day.”
