Narrative:

While pushing the duty free carts back into their stowage places, my left index fingertip was smashed between the top of the duty free cart and the bottom of the first class galley oven. Fingernail was very dented, adjacent skin bled profusely. Had it x-rayed in crawley, england. It was badly bruised, not broken. The broken skin became infected. I'm hoping I don't lose the nail. Infection has since cleared up.
