Kevin and I didn't buy eachother Christmas presents... and purchased a new small set of Cutco knives instead. I used one for the first time last night to slice an apple, and apparently tried to take off a piece of my left pointer finger too. My kitchen floor had blood drops all over it. I kept calm, applied pressure and put my hand over my head, and when it didn't stop after five minutes I called my dad to take me to the ER. Kevin's still in FL so he missed out on the action. The ER doctor and a nurse (sweet sorority sister of mine... thank you!) Dermabonded (superglued) my finger. I went home with a pain level of 2 but embarrassment level of 11. Those new knives just got $100 more expensive, too. But... when I woke up this morning I was bleeding through the Dermabond, and got to go BACK TO THE ER for stitches in the part that didn't hold. I've never had to call a coworker before today and wake them up at 6:30am before to say, "Uh... I'm going to the ER and won't be able to open up work at 8am... can you help me out?" Now I've gotta get ready to go into work, as I swapped shifts with my coworker to go back to the ER. I can still kinda type. Thank goodness for spell check!

Oh no! I've done the same thing- but I'm (unfortunately) known for being klutzy. Hope it doesn't throb terribly and that it heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteAi-yo! Ouch! Here's to a quick healing for you. I'm glad you're able to maintain a sense of humor through this.

OUCH!! I stabbed myself last month making guacamole. It's not a good idea to try to stab the pit of an avocado while you are holding it in your hand. The good news is I didn't get in blood in the guacamole!! :-) Hope you hand heals quickly.
