I'm a lucky bitch.

The worst pain I've ever experienced: well, one time I let a dude who claimed to know what he was doing light my hand on fire. He did mostly know what he was doing; I didn't. So when the flame started getting hot I panicked and waved my hand, instead of clenching it in a fist like I was supposed to. I got whatever degree burn causes blisters all over my hand, most notably on my wrist but also on the fat pads right below where your fingers connect to your palm. I remember sitting there crying afterwards as we talked. I wasn't drunk. We also didn't treat the wound properly (run under cool water, ice). I was young. Right hand - I'm left handed.

I also cut the same hand badly enough to warrant stitches and frankly that was worse. I tripped going up stairs holding on to a glass bottle. The bottle broke into my hand. Anyway, i do not like needles and I remember trying to convince my mom I didn't need to be stitched up - this when I was still pursuing a career/education path in flute. The worst pain from that was not the cut but the anesthesia. As they injected me (multiple times) I sat there with tears rolling down my face. The assistant, concerned, asked me if I was alright and I responded with something along the lines of "what do you think?" He was trying to be sympathetic, but it was still a dumb question.

Those are really my only two major injuries or incidents. Never broken a bone, really.

Feel better, mang.
