My Pinky

One day we decided to go to the rainforest and waterfalls in Puerto Rico.  The last time we tried to go was an epic fail. So we walked the trail to the waterfall. When we arrived, I went in the tiny pool of water surrounding the bottom of the waterfall.  It was really deep. Plus, there was a current pulling you down. Then below that, the path of water continued and then dropped down.  I followed the path over a bunch of rocks and went swimming down there.  

When it was time to leave, I found a huge rock.  I went to throw it over the side when I slipped.  I didn't let go so it crushed my pinky and ripped it open.  The blood started gushing. Then I had to go three hours with nothing until we got back to the house.  I'll never forget that. 

 

The pinky after a couple of days. The swelling went down and just FYI, there was never any 'gushing' blood.
