24 | While chopping a tree in the woods with his hatchet (a Christmas gift from his mother) a bird he'd never heard before cried out. | ||
25 | He jerked his head up and to the right as the hatchet fell down and to the left. | ||
26 | It cut deep into the back of his left hand. | ||
27 | A low thud didn't echo in the forest because all the needles and snow absorbed ~~sound well~~ the sound. | ||
28 | |||
29 | When he got back to the house his hand wrapped in the end of his shirt he still felt no pain. | ||
30 | He called for his mother and found her watching TV in the main room. | ||
31 | He stayed in the kitchen not wanting to get blood on the carpet. | ||
32 | She turned around cigarette dangling from her open mouth said "Oh god what happened." | ||
33 | |||
34 | She drove him to the hospital in the car. | ||
35 | [The radio stayed off the entire way.][] | ||
36 | Paul wanted to turn it on but ~~he didn't want~~ the desire not to annoy his mother was stronger. | ||
37 | They drove in silence. | ||
38 | |||
39 | At the hospital after the X-rays and stitching and pain medication prescription the doctor said "You got lucky, son. | ||
40 | If that axe had hit a half-inch lower you'd [have lost your hand][]. | ||
41 | You won't get full mobility back because we had to tie the tendons, but with therapy you should be able to work it pretty well." | ||
42 | |||
43 | On the drive back home all he could think was that he was glad he didn't hit his writing hand. | ||
