Ouch, that's all I can say. So one of the last days in MN I decide to attempt to boost my ego and start on one ski for water skiiing. I'm able to drop one once I'm up, but never tried it from the water....this day was that day. After 5 attempts, the last one my arms tired and the boat yanked me forward, causing my right hand to smash against the perpendicular ski -------- pain.....and wishing I were dead. You know for such a small surface area, the nail has a lot of nerve endings and can cause a grown man (or woman) to beg for mercy. So there I was, floating like yesterday's dead fish in the water, cradling my poor injured finger, dignity shattered. For the next few days I may as well had gotten my hand mauled by a bear cause I was pretty much out of commission with that dominant hand. Almost a week later and I still feel the bruise, which has developed into a pretty gnarly looking black finger nail. Here's all to say that I am so grateful for healthy, in tact, colorless fingernails and the services they provide us each and every day. Can you imagine what life would be like fingernailless???? Pretty awful.....especially for those mosquito bites. So fingernails around the world......this one's for you.
