This week, I cut myself while cooking. You must understand that our knives are heavy steel and extremely sharp. So, I cut through my thumbnail and sliced a nice bit of thumb.
And then I stopped the bleeding and superglued it back together, stabilized by gauze cannibalized from a bandaid.
Afterwards, it occurred to me that perhaps this was not a normal response.
perhaps you can add a belated "eek," just for the sake of form.
ReplyDeleteI second that "eek"
ReplyDelete;)
... I tend to do this too. However, the key is having *very* sharp knives, so it's a nice, clean cut. Otherwise, the super glue doesn't work as well.
ReplyDeleteAaaiiiii! *Vomits.* On the other hand, if the blood CAN be stopped, it's clearly no cause for alarm.
ReplyDeleteWell, last time I did it, it hurt a lot more (and was near a joint) and I did go see the urgent care people and they... superglued me back together. So this time I was all like, hell, I can do that. Did you know they sell medical-grade superglue at the dollar store?
ReplyDeleteNow if only I could find some of that epi/lidocaine mixture. Though, according to my mother, it is Not To Be Used On Digits, which are the only place I ever cut myself.
Miss MSE: They are perhaps a little too sharp.
Eeek!
