WHAT NOT TO DO!!!
Well its 12 midnight here in Ont.
At around 9 pm I decided to cut just one more block when....
Oh dear my dh came running. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?? BRING THE BANDAGES!!!. WE COULDN'T STOP THE BLEEDING.!! I sliced my middle finger on my left hand. All the years that I have sewed I have NEVER CUT MYSELF...
So off to the hospital we go. Arrive there around 9:30. At 11:30 I left with 3 stitches to my finger. They put freezing in my finger at the base in two places. Can you believe it. My tip of my finger never froze. Just go for it Doc. So he sewed my up, put on a bandage, OH YEA gave me a tetanus shot in the arm and sent me on my way.
Go to your DR in 7 to ten days to have your stiches removed.
So 2 ADVIL EXTRA strenghth later and a cup of tea, I'm off to bed.
Good night all.
Linda
ouch!
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI...that shot is gonna hurt in a day or two...

Sorry to hear about your finger, not a fun thing to do.
ReplyDeleteI am always worried about doing that, so I really really pay attention with blades;)

Oh Dear! Those rotary cutters can be wicked - I've had stitches before - the new blades are the worst! Hope you heal soon!
ReplyDeleteTake care of you b/c that is going to hurt like heck in the morning. We don't heal as fast as we did when we were younger.
ReplyDeleteOuch!!!!!!! Ouch!!!!!!! Ouch!!!! Hoping you heal quickly.

I don't cut after 10 pm
ReplyDeletehope you sleep well and take something for the pain tomorrow. It will start throbing when the meds wear off. Quilting is a dangerous activity!- cw

Hope your not hurting too badly today. Take care and keep taking those Advil.
ReplyDeleteOh my! How scary that must have been! Praying that you will heal up quickly. Be careful! <3
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you didn't put a picture up, I almost fainted as it is. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope that heals fast. This is a big fear of mine.
That is one of my worst nightmares!! Ouch. Hope it is better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my Linda! Things like this never happen at a convenient time, do they? But I suppose no time would be convenient for slicing your finger open! Ouch! Will this put a crimp in your Christmas sewing plans? Where there's a will, there's a way! Wishing you fast healing and safe sewing!

Oh my goodness. I know from experience that those rotary cutters can be beasts but never cut myself that bad. I'm glad that it wasn't worse!!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your finger- hope it heals quickly so you get all your Christmas sewing finished.
ReplyDeleteOh not good, either hubby will have to do dishes for you, or you will need rubber gloves.
ReplyDeleteOn the cut . . guess that proves there's a first time for everything!
Good sewing.
Ouie. Those rotary cutters can be serious demons. Glad you and your finger survived. Shall we send you scissors?

ReplyDeleteOh, you're in our hearts tonight.
Caringest of Hugs,

Ouch! I've cut my finger before and even my leg once! I dropped the rotary cutter and somehow the blade was still out on the way to the floor. Don't ask me how that happened. Hope you are feeling better soon. I know it hurts. Quilting can be a dangerous sport!!
ReplyDeleteOH MY! Owie, Owie Owie!!! keep the Advil handy for sure, those cuts are painful! I hope you heal soon.
ReplyDeleteOuch!! I'm sorry to hear you are "In Stitches" that way.. hope you are "In Stitches" meaning laughing... soon!
ReplyDeleteOh, poor you! I can imagine how much it hurt. Just rest!
ReplyDeleteMicki
Oh, bless your heart. HOpe it's better by now. It's just a good reminder to all of us to be extra careful!
ReplyDeleteOuch, Linda. Last week one of my friends cut her too with the rotary cutter. I am so sorry to hear this and hope you feel better soon.
