Well I’ll be dipped in mud! grumbles and growls I finally get over my hand/wrist being hurt, and no I’ve gone and hurt myself again, only this time it was at work and it involved a butcher knife (yup, it was the left one again)! I was fixing breakfast for a customer and for some reason felt that it would be perfectly okay to use a knife to pry sausage patties apart (they were frozen together) and ended up slipping and stabbing a butcher knife through the meaty part between my pinkie finger and ring finger (I nearly went through the whole darn thing!). The doctor gave me a tetanus shot, an antibiotics shot, antibiotics to take by mouth, and pain pills (as well as stitching my hand up and telling me to keep a close eye on it because he said ‘meat’ cuts can get infected really easily). I’ve got to go back in tomorrow so he can take the drain he put in it out and then he’ll stitch it up even more. Hurts like a mofo too!

I shouldn't be left alone it seems lol

Sorry to hear that.
All I can say is keep an eye on it and next time use a spoon.
What was the movie where Steve Martin had to have a cork put on the end of his fork so he wouldn't stab himself in the eye. May be something to think about... :wink:

Well while I was doing it I thought to myself 'This isn't going to turn out very well' but I did it anyways because I'm oh so very bright! It cost $401 too!! $401 just to make my ass hurt like hell and my hand go numb... what a deal! Ah well, my boss is paying for it, not me

"I thought to myself 'This isn't going to turn out very well' but I did it anyways..."

Ouch Cutie! Take care of the wound and no more playing with knifes hehe

shit i cut myself on the 23rd, not nearly as bad as yours though.
i was trying to cut a rutabaga in half for a customer, and was basically pushing down on the knife with both of my palms. for some reason my left middle and ring fingers were bent under the rutabaga and when the knife went through it, it came down on my fingers.
tons of blood, but i was smiling because just the way the knife came down i thought for sure i'd lost my finger.
still a bad cut, but i'm doing alright!

Well I went back to the doctors to take the drain out and he decided I needed another type of antibiotic (just in case). He told me to keep a close eye on it and that if I start running fever, the pain spreads, or if it starts getting really red/black-ish or filled with puss I should come back in immediately. Then he said I need to eat yogurt, yogurt, yogurt, and more yogurt! I like that part lol I’ve also been advised to drink tons of water while I’m doped up on my medication lol Here’s hoping it gets better soon!!@ van1ty- - Ouch! That sounds painful!! But I’m glad you’re doing better!!
