Minor accident.

I'm typing with my left hand. I had a minor accident this evening. I held the cup to pour drinking water but accidentally hit the sink pavement. The cup broke and it sliced between my thumb and index finger.
My mum did first aid on my hand. I was bleeding profusely. I hope I heal quickly.
There was an explosion Thursday night in a gas factory in my town. Many people burned and sustained serious injuries. My dad was at work busy carrying extra hospital beds for the burned patients. I hope they recover.
I currently can't type quickly since I'm using my left hand. I'll try get the notifications done. I hope you are well.

@nela13 Yes it is. I haven't been using the right hand today so that it doesn't start bleeding again. It should be okay in three days I hope.

@much2say My hand is okay now. I don't feel pain and I was able to wash my clothes. I can even type with injured hand. The cut is healing quickly. I've been using hydrogen peroxide.

Wishing you a quick recovery. Wish all those injured in the explosion heal soon. I think the tea cup was thin enough to slice your fingers or was it the kitchen pavement edge?
