We'll see.

The pinky is very swollen now.  It's the top knuckle area that got hit.  The top, scull cap or polar top, of the finger is blush blood red.  The rest of the fingreprint area is now like a purple grape, and quite swollen.  It is numb, mostly.  Oh, and the fingernail is showing a dark and enlarging stain.  I don't think I will lose it, but... at this stage...  I'll know more tomorrow.  I haven't gone through any more shock, and was able to work, and can type so far.  Though typing on that finger is like using a 'peg' finger, or a finger that has 'fallen asleep'.  So typing is a bit slower.  If pain ever really sets in, I might not post for a day or... whatever.  Or just have to use the hunt-and-peck method and go much slower.  Beats having the whole hand, or hand and arm, out of commission.  Done that been there twice that I can remember.  Just going to the bathroom was a hassle.  Then again, back then?  No computers, cellphones, and all that other jazz.  Yeah.

It does seem to have stopped snowing, last I looked.  I check about every other time I get up for something.  Even if no snow falls, I will probably hit it again tomorrow.  The wind seems to be drifting it in, or might.  I really want to stay ahead, if I can, as much as I can.  If I hit it wrong, and it is sensitive, I see now that a short or even long break will allow me to get over shock and get back to it, if need be.  A good thing to know.

If the work isn't too much, and so long as I do some other chores, I'll also get the snowshoes out again as well.  I definitely have enough snow now.  Of course, I am looking at bigger snowshoes.  I really don't think these work for me as well as I would like.  Certainly not for packing in.  I have heard that traditional might be better, but I'm not sure about that.  I need to get someone on the horn to discuss it.  I suppose, just for paths, and maybe just a day pack, these might be okay.  Anything more and they begin to fail quickly.  Just not large enough.  And, while looking, I may see about a tow sled.  That would transfer weight and make these more useful as is, or allow bigger snowshoes even more capacity for deeper snow.  Just... thinking.

Later, or good night.
