Well I had a disaster that turned into a near severe medical emergency:
TL;DR I made an early morning mistake and shattered one of my crown Roor's. it sliced my right pinky and through a miracle healing I'm OK
So early Friday morning I finish up some editing and head to the sink with the bong to clean it for a sesh. I put it down and got some reason tried to reach past it instead of around it to get the rubbing alc. I bump the chamber with the back of my left hand and I try to reach across out of instinct and grab the beaker before it nosedives into the sink.
Nope. My hand gets there just as it's making contact with the faucet. My pinky was closest and the major break is just above the beaker slicing my pinky badly. The glass in the sink looks like I slammed it beaker first into the sink - absolute destruction:
RIP Blue Crown

So obviously no picture of the break because I'm dealing with a badly sliced pinky finger pad. Instantly it spills blood all over the floor, counter and myself. I grab the peroxide that's above the sink and dump it over my finger (I keep a really clean bong so not worried about resin in my cut just want to ensure it's clean.
I run the to bathroom and get pressure and a gauze wrap on the finger but it looks bad so I set an alarm to go to the urgent care at 8am and nap on the couch with my hand over my head to reduce blood flow. I woke up and it had stopped bleeding almost entirely on and was closing on it's own.
30 hours after the cut:
I'm sort of surprised at how well it's healed without professional medical attention. Super lucky this wasn't worse or on a mor vital part of my body like my wrist. A big wake up call for being tired and messing with cleaning the glass. The $500 piece being gone is sad but I'm over it because I'm feeling so fortunate for being OK.
