Under a cloud

Not the best of days so far. Early this morning I tripped over the pavement edge and landed badly. The fingers on my left hand took the full force of my crash landing. Much torn flesh and blood was in evidence so I rang my GP in the hope that a nurse might dress the damage to be told that all appointments for the day were taken and to try again tomorrow or go to A and E.
Luckily I am quite good at bandaging having been to several first aid courses. It was on one of them that we learned how to bandage a dart stuck in some unfortunate's head. Luckily that particular skill has never been put to the test!
As luck would have it, I have an existing appointment for a blood test tomorrow so perhaps they will also check my bandaging work!
