I do look forward to getting the staples out, though!<br /><br />Yoko, good to see you again! I'm sure Hayley would want me to say Konnichi-wa back!<br /><br />Virginia, I called my wonderful neighbor once I got to the hospital and she came over & turned off the hose for me.

The wound will heal with time, so sit back and relax in the comfort of the cool living room. <br /><br />Thanks for your visit. I’m glad you were attracted by Japanese Alps. Mountain resort is popular and is well-organized both for protection and tourism. Even if you don’t climb, you can go to the highlands surrounded by 3000m-class mountains quite easily. Foreign tourists rarely visit such places including countryside. Japan is not all about Tokyo with skyscrapers or ancient cities like Kyoto and Nara where I live noe. Give my regards to your daughter.<br /><br />Yokostardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-49032501440704178272012-08-02T22:20:08.050-05:002012-08-02T22:20:08.050-05:00Oh, I'm so sorry, dear one!

I managed to keep my finger tip, though, after a similar story to yours! 7 stitches, and it still hurts a month later. Said it will take months to heal all the nerve damage. I'm suspecting yours will be the same.

I would have passed out straight away, I cannot take the sight of my own blood. It is such a good thing you had your daughter there to help you out.<br /><br />I hope it heals quick and doesn't leave too big a scar. Although a scar will remind you that when your body calls for a sit-down and a bottle of water, listen to it. I sometimes give in to that urge to do "one more thing" and have been known to regret it.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-83326783132670114782012-07-29T18:40:29.877-05:002012-07-29T18:40:29.877-05:00Oh my goodness, Cindy; that is quite a wound!

I've stumbled on rocks in my garden and even been stabbed by an agave on the way down. But I've never been attacked by my garden art. I guess we have something new to worry about! Freddie is the perfect name and it needs to be put in 'timeout' somewhere in the very corner of your garden. I shall be very careful on my next visit to Wits End. In fact, my opening question will be, "Uh...where exactly is Freddie right now?"<br />Hang in there.<br />David/Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495040805660192347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5028520395539529044.post-14968212099543789172012-07-29T14:51:58.441-05:002012-07-29T14:51:58.441-05:00Oh my!
