Woodworking?

Anyway, I have a really sharp hatchet I could probably shave with and it managed to glance off and plant itself in my right kneecap and this sucker hurts! 
I'm going to blame Marvin since he seems to be the easiest target on this board although it really is my own goddamned fault.. 
The VA patched me up then just prescribed motrin. They might as well just have given me a bullet to bite on and send me on my way. Not only that, but no antibiotics. This is a 4 inch gash about an inch deep..
Thanks VA. 
On the bright side my 88 year old dad has a ton of painkillers sitting around and I'm not shy about asking for them..
For some reason I'm heading back out to the VA again today. I can barely move my leg. It takes me around 20 minutes to get a cup of coffee.. This ain't cutting it.. 

Why don't you smoke some of that Chinese sumac?       That'll make your knee feel better. 



My father is into wood working.  He builds cabinets and bedroom furniture, etc.  He made me and my sister each a bedroom set. He's going to make me either a king sized head board for the new king size bed we are getting or a cedar chest.  He's already made a baby's crib.  He's made all the cabinets in his kitchen, both bathroom vanities, and all the trim.   I wish I could have gotten some of that talent, but it's all over my head.  I consider myself lucky enough just to have woman who likes my wood.
