About a month ago, a rather heavy thousand-pound object, gently pinched my finger against the hull of the boat. I bit my lip in pain, tears forming in my eyes. But I didn't say a word--it hurt so much I didn't want to say anything.
Anyway the thing didn't break, but as the weeks went by the nail got blacker and blacker; and now the nail is stating to come off at the base. So what do you think I do? same thing I did when I got a scab as a boy--I pick at it, the whole day long, trying my best to see if I can't speed up the process. ...........................
Maybe I should have done what people say: heat up a needle, until it glows red hot and then pierce the nail, so the pressure gets out.
At the time, when it happened, the thought of doing this somehow didn't excite me that much.
