Eh, at least you remember sometimes
Brain death from work. People who don't understand what I'm doing trying to tell me how to do it.
New job time?
Tempting but first I'll try to convince him of the error of his ways
Well it finally happened, sliced a chunk out of my thumb using a mandoline last night. Spent almost 4 hours at two different ED’s to get it cauterised and a tetanus shot as it wouldn’t stop bleeding. Now my thumb is wrapped up in a super tight bandage that can’t get wet for 2 days and I have to take antibiotics again.
Shouldn’t have got cocky with the mandoline 😮💨
Ouch! I'm no stranger to slicing or grating my hands but I've never done it so bad that I had to go to ED. Though I've done it bad enough to wonder if I should go 😆.
I thought about not going but it didn't seem like it would stop bleeding. Unfortunately it wasn't the type like a slice where you could hold it together and it clots up and stops bleeding. The doctor couldn't stitch it either, I think the word he used was "trimmed". Deep enough to continue bleeding but no way to close it up, hence the cauterisation. It's not fun I can tell you, it's also on my dominant hand which is annoying as I can't get it wet!
Youch! Hope it heals up nicely!
Thanks!
The more you describe it the more horrible it sounds. I have questions, but I'm not going to ask them because I don't want to know the answers 😅
Three more days then I'm on leave till 2nd October.
Lucky! Everyone around me is going on leave and I'm just here holding the fort.
There's something restful about that too, when you can't do much at work because all the people you need to do it are gone
I doubt that will be the case, but I hope so!
