OUCH OUH & OUCH... Out of action for the next 7 days. Went and sliced the side off my right thumb along with some fingernail, preparing tea. Mmmmmm more proteen? 4 hrs at hosp and now my hand looks like its part Mummified in bandages. So no sewing with this silly hand. The newly purchased nicer dicer blade thinging has gone to garbage heaven. Of for a nap tablets starting to kick in. %)

I am so sorry to hear about this injury. I so can feel your pain. Been there and got a chunk taken out with the Food Processor Chopper Attachment. Those blades are dangerous but I didn't toss mine out. Just been extremely careful since. Hold your hand up close to your shoulder and that helps somewhat with the throbbing.

I am with the other Cuties on this.
Ouch! Hugs! I hope you heal quickly! Keep your arm above your heart to reduce the throbbing. Please don't show pictures as sewmom said.
And the best comment is from jrob...those tablets are great for everything but typing and conversation. LOL
Please keep the wound dry. No sewing means no dish duty either!

Makes me cringe just to think of it. May you heal quickly. It is really hard to do almost anything without your thumb so hopefully you have some one to help you out.

Mmmm i did cringe when the dr couldnt unstick my bandage..... Makes my toenails curl thinking about it . Hubby has been a gem :)

I hope it heals quickly Polly. My grandmother did the same thing a few years back. I am very wary of those things!

Ooh! you poor thing! I feel your pain! Now that's one way of stopping you from sewing with Meg visiting soon! I told you that you wouldn't get any sewing done, but that's a bit of a drastic way to get out of it he he he! I know you guys will talk for hours anyway! Hope that the thumb will heal quickly for your Polly. Love you, Chris

I doubt you were a pain Meg, seems to me Pauline loves your company. Glad you liked the little dove, I had forgotten all about it acutally...it was a thought more than anything to let you know I think of you...love Kerry

Had to go look for this post.
You didn't have to go to this extreme just to get out of sewing with me. LOL!!!
Seriously though, I am so, so, sorry you did this to yourself.
I was watching a cooking show on telly one day when the chef sliced his finger on his mandolin, boy did they cut to a commercial quickly.
I am always very wary when I use mine and especially so when slicing potatoes as they tend to stick to the blade, making them even more dangerous to slice.
Hope you heal quickly sis. Hugs n love, me
PS, thanks for the lovely day, sorry I couldn't stop yawning, had a few microsleeps driving home, pretty scary but I made it.

Keep it higher than your heart and the pain will be less. Something to do with the blood flow being stronger with it down. Get better soon.
