So I made it through the day, despite the festering hole in my leg. The pain is minimal, almost like someone had kicked me in the shin. The rest of the bruises I received from the fall hurt worse, especially around my ankles. One feels like it was twisted. But worry not, pain does not really bother me and I'm walking around as normal. Nobody has a clue.

Now, about the wound. It stopped bleeding last night and a band-aid covers it sufficiently. It seriously hurts more to remove the band-aid than to clean the wound after removal. There's still a hole, but I should be okay. I'm certain my body will repair itself adequately. I'm not prone to infection and have never had one in my life. My immune system is a champ, so I'm not really worried. If I notice any problems, I'll go to a doctor. I once smashed and ripped open the top half of my right ring finger. It went through every layer of skin and possibly broke the bone. It hurt a lot worse than this and was a much larger wound. I cured that wound with some anti-bacterial hand wash, some skin glue, and a thick wad of paper towels (to keep my finger from moving). The scab was thick and nasty, but it all worked out. You can only see the scar if you look closely.

The queasiness I felt was all in my head. Kinda like when you watch one of those surgery shows on cable, just the thought of having a hole in my leg made me nauseous. So, bottom line, I'll live. :)

I didn't mean to worry anybody. The last post was written in a joking manner. I never really thought I was going to die. I'm one of those people who injures himself and then laughs about it, especially when the injury is my own fault.
