Then, 8pm Xmas Day, I am prepping the desserts... the yule log has this wonderful plastic wrap on it to keep it fresh (pure sarcasm). So I grab a knife to cut the wrap off in a quick fashion, as I do someone asks me something, I turn my head and next thing i know my hand is covered in blood... right through 2 fingers... Spent the next 5 hours in emerge and now they look like this:

GOOD GRIEF!!!!! Me and you brother lol I swear we are twins. Although I didn't cut myself with a knife :( I did have the carpal tunnel surgery this past Tuesday, and when I took my bandage off I about fell out lol. My right hand looks like a baseball where I have a good bit of stitches from the surgery. I get mine taking out this Thursday. On top of the surgery I ended up scratching my right eye cornea, and landed with bronchitis lol can we say hello 2016!!! Anyway glad to see your getting better and I hope it heals fast. I can't lift for 6 to 8 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't get to the top of the mountain if you keep falling back down, right? Gotta climb it as safe and steady as you can and never give up
 
We all have our own hot spots, but you're definitely not lacking anywhere strength wise.
