I injured myself yesterday. Cleaning a sharp knife, I made the tactical error of running my cloth down the sharp side of the blade. I know. Rookie error. gaaahhh! I was cutting meat to prep for pressure canning, so I stopped long enough to clean the wound, assess that it wasn't bad enough to require stitches, bandage it, and then slip a kitchen glove over it so I could continue the task.
I rechecked it when the job was done, and it was already starting the healing process. Thankfully, it wasn't a bad wound. Only bad enough that it will be a few days before I can work at the needlework frame again.
So, I guess I'll be bottling hickory syrup tomorrow, and pressure canning the meat before I'll be working on my bluebirds again. It could be worse. At least I won't be losing my thumb. (Bad joke. lol)
Oh Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI hope it heals fast.

"The hurrier I go, the behinder I get" ... we all make those "rookie" mistakes when we get focused on our tasks. Unfortunately, it doesn't make them any less painful. Glad it wasn't any worse!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Sending healing thoughts your way in hopes it will heal quickly so you can needle dance again.
