My worst wound was on my right little finger. I was changing the light bulb on the light fixture in my bedroom. It had one of the bent plate glass covers on it. I dropped the bulb and tried to grab it as it fell and ended up karate chopping that glass cover. It shattered and cut my finger to the bone. I looked at it and said to myself that is gonna bleed real bad. I applied pressure and found a 2.5 inch wide bandaid that was designed to cover skinned knees. I wrapped it as tight as possible and drove myself to the hospital since I was alone. If my finger was below my heart it throbbed a lot. If I held it up it was ok.

Now imagine a 914 with the rear window inched behind my head. I would shift and hold my hand up with my little finger wrapped in a skin colored bandaid. My wrist was sore and I would hold my hand up with a limp wrist with my little finger sticking out to the side. I got 5 stitches to close it up. There is virtually no scar.

The bathroom at home looked like a murder scene with blood everywhere. My roommate at the time came home while I was at the hospital. He was worried I had been attacked. This was in 1980 or so and cell phone had not been invented.
