He jerked his head up and +to the right as the hatchet fell down and to the left. It cut deep into the +back of his left hand. A low thud didn't echo in the forest because all the +needles and snow absorbed ~~sound well~~ the sound. + +When he got back to the house his hand wrapped in the end of his shirt he +still felt no pain. He called for his mother and found her watching TV in the +main room. He stayed in the kitchen not wanting to get blood on the carpet. +She turned around cigarette dangling from her open mouth said "Oh god what +happened." + +She drove him to the hospital in the car. The radio stayed off the entire +way. Paul wanted to turn it on but ~~he didn't want~~ the desire not to annoy +his mother was stronger. They drove in silence. + +At the hospital after the X-rays and stitching and pain medication +prescription the doctor said "You got lucky, son. If that axe had hit a +half-inch lower you'd have lost your hand. 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." + +On the drive back home all he could think was that he was glad he didn't hit +his writing hand. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
