Yeah I wondered about the dirty knife poking me, it's not like I could clean there, but it seems the bit of bleeding maybe helped. It's not swollen or anything and today wasn't more tender than a stubbed toe in a shoe. There's a tiny bruise under the nail where the knife hit, but it has mostly stopped hurting. So thankfully I don't think it'll escalate into any serious injury. It was just really cartoonish.

Yeah, bleeding helps cleanse the wound; glad it feels better today.

But I just realized -- if you're not up on your tetanus shots, you should get one. Much better safe than sorry.

It does sound cartoonish. Really, the weight of the handle should have pulled it sideways; it would have been much likely to hurt you.

Tetanus is part of a combi vaccine that I had boosted not that long ago because of the pertussis resurgence because apparently too few vaccinate against that now too, not just measles or covid. So it should be fine.

Good to know. And of course -- you know that I meant much LESS likely, right? *shame face* My brain runs faster than my fingers.
