Last night, while prepping to bottle, the situation follows...I grabbed a wet carboy (glass) from my swamp bucket. lost grip on it, tried to catch it while at the same time slipping and ended up lying on my back in a pool of glass and blood...I laid there for a few seconds contemplating my next move. Got up, stepped on glass, grabbed towels and bed sheets to prevent beer from spreading on the floor. What a night. It is not even close to cleaned up, I couldn't call in sick to work, so here I am.
No life threatening injuries, but many small cuts on my hand and foot. A fairly large one on the bottom of my foot. My hand now has 4 bandaids as new cuts seem to be opening up as the day progresses. Fingertips...ouch. My place smells of beer and has blood on the walls...5 gallons is a lot to clean up. Don't know what I learned from this, but I feel fortunate not to have needed a hospital visit like others have.
I mourn the loss of my beer...
