so. guess who now has a personal story to add to the class lesson the next time she teaches first aid and gets to 'avulsion'?

yeah.

typing this one handed. my right ring finger is wrapped in massive amounts of gauze and compression tape and my right thumb is dressed and bandaged.

mandolines come with a chariot- the little plastic and metal bit to stick into the vegetable and hold onto- for a reason, kiddies. use. the. chariot.

going to go take my keflex and quite a lot of painkiller now.

Oh ouch! I have one of those things and haven't the guts to use it yet as it looks so deadly.

Oh, ow! I learned the meaning of avulsion firsthand myself when I was a kid, though it was for my right big toe -- I made the mistake of not watching where my foot was when I opened a door, and the bottom part of the door took the nail clean off. Nasty business indeed.

Speedy healing to you!

As I mentioned last night, I took the tip off one of my pinky fingers years ago with a knife. It's still a little flatter and number but it healed up fine. I don't recall it hurting a huge amount but there was a lot going on when it happened. I hope it heals up quickly, fingers are so awkward to hurt.

I took off the side of my pinky at the top knuckle with one. One neat thing to keep the bandages from sticking was some blue burn gel - I can't remember the type I had, but WaterJel makes something similar.
