Notes to self...

Note to self #1: If your tool is pointed, check that it isn't attached to a sharp blade as well.
Note to self #2: Don't hide the stock of butterfly stitches.

I'd swear the blood is never that colour on the telly!

Also the injury itself never seems to hurt at the time (O.K. hammer vs thumb is probably the major exception), but then there is plenty of time for it to throb at leisure, to come...

Now sporting a 1/4" slice into the tip of my thumb - you could see from the damage to the nail just how far it had gone, until I strapped it together with a butterfly stitch and then added the tape that the stitches are made of for good measure.

One of these days I'll learn...


Haven't injured myself in a while - guess it goes to show that I haven't been doing much!

Thanks.
Technically I'm big enough and stupid enough to know better! ;~)

That'd be why my first aid box rivals an ER...
