Yeah,
I'm doing fine.
Of course super sore, stitched, and medicated

.
Interesting enough, the next day my whole arm was super sore and swollen.
Not sure why, strange things happen in a moment of trauma.
Thanks for your concern, all.
My wife, being Japanese is the resident expert on all things fish, told me you can eat them, but they are super hard to skin, as RedSledTeam mentioned.
I thought some eel skin boots would be pretty cool.
Romancing the Stone style.
I think not worth the effort.
Stay safe all.
