I was in the shower, now I have to mention I am not allowed to get water in my eyes so I have the shower in my hand and think, Oh I should probably give my legs a quick shave. So lather up the first leg and start shaving, all going well until uuUUUuuuggGGGGhhh that felt weird. Oh. Oh MY I appear to have a long slither of skin in the razor. Oh. Oh MY look at the blood, the BLOOD OH MY FUCKING GOD I AM IN PSYCHO AND STANDING IN AN INCH OF BLOOD ARGH WHAT DO I DO I CAN'T PUT THE SHOWER DOWN IN THE BLOOD I CAN'T GET WATER IN MY EYES TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF.
I then had to gingerly step out the shower, stuff loads of toilet roll on the epic bleeding, wipe down the bloody footprint and hop to my room where I fashioned a dressing out of cotton pads and medical tape.
Note, cotton pads will stick to the injury after several hours and having to pull it off will result in more bleeding.

I know your pain. Or in my case lack of pain. I did the same thing with about 5 strips of skin a few years back. The bathroom floor was completely covered in blood. It's fucking terrifying. Hope you're ok.

It's not too bad I'm letting it "breathe" so I can have a really attractive scab.
I have been a total injury magnet this year. I managed to injure myself on baconz the other day

I had to keep it covered as I was wearing tights the whole time. 3 days later it was still bleeding. I've never seen so much blood, I literally had to sit in the bath in the end and get my mum to mop the bathroom floor.
How are the eyes?

I bought them in Africa, when I was shaving my legs there I looked down at the bath and thought "Ooh, I'm dirtier than I thought" as there was a large pool of brown water around my feet. Had cut the backs of my ankles to shreds. The second time it was only after I noticed a strip of skin about 5 inches long that I noticed I'd hurt myself, and by then it was too late. I was more amused than anything, but my mother thought I'd done it on purpose and cried. A lot.
Glad to hear it- must be a nice difference. I'm looking forward to seeing your miraculous peepers at the weekend. I bought a litre of Hendricks at duty free. I don't think it'll come to Oxford though :/

I suggest a nice cup and tea and maybe a biscuit.
