busted hand....

It was complete lack of judgment on my part. i bought these wine glasses which are super thin glass. they had a really nice lip so i figured they looked classy. after trying an 03 Chardonnay (which was no doubt well beyond its prime), i rinsed the glass out and wafted it in the air to get the water out of the glass, my hand was on the stem when it cracked and the stem made its way up the top knuckle of my thumb, blood gushing out and immediately going numb. i physically pulled the glass out of my thumb and it was totally raunchy but again since my thumb was numb, i felt nothing until the doctor stitched it up sans any anesthetic. I'm a trooper though, only difference is that I'll be trying wines out of stemless glasses for a while until I get me wits back!
