i saw stars

I was digging in my vanity drawer for a new tube of toothpaste and accidentally cut my finger (I totally forgot about the broken glass there). I didn't even know the cut was that deep until I saw the blood oozing out. I tried washing the blood off and saw a piece of flesh flapping open under the gushing flow of water from the tap.



Five minutes later, the bleeding still didn't stop.



Ten minutes later, my basin was filled with droplets of fresh blood dripping from my finger while I frantically tried to apply some antiseptic lotion and bandage the cut finger with my useless left hand before any help finally arrived. At this stage, I was seeing stars and starting to feel faint and had to lie down.



I didn't taste the blood this time. All my focus was on stopping the bleeding and everything else was forgotten. The finger is ok now.

I had to inspect the wound thoroughly to make sure there's no glass bits stuck inside and to apply the antiseptic lotion. I only had one other useless left hand left to do all this so no spare hand to apply pressure leh... then i also scared to put tissue on it cos it may stick to the bloody wound...
