just cleaned it up. so far so good. the cut looks longer than i remember, but i don't think it's any longer than 1.5".

my only worries now are that i don't let it get infected, and how insurance is going to deal with the bill. there may be some issues since i didn't go to the emergency room. let's see, gaping wound in my hand.. drive for 15 minutes to the hospital, or drive for 1 minute to the local health center. decisions, decisions..
