Thanks, Andy!
Owwww, Princess! That sounds horribly painful!
When I burned my hands it never hurt until the next day, it happened so fast.

Addie, I go one better than you. I go down the basement to throw the circuit breaker to the disposal before I put my hand in! I'm just a big chicken. At least Myrtle might like me.
I'm not afraid of electricity, Addie. I'm afraid that the dirt-cheap disposal the builder put in might flake out and turn on when my hand is down there.
A few years ago, i got up early ( for what ever reason, about 4:30am, just like today), and had the desire to cook. Went outside. Picked myself some fresh herbs, and grabbed my brand new cleaver that Ive been dying to try out. I made a nice mound of herbs and began to chop away ( kinda like using a sledge hammer to push in a thumbtack). Sure enough , I take off a corner of my finger ( nail and all). Being about 4:45am, I didnt want to wake anyone up, so I did the best i could ( which was very poor) wrapping my finger up in a bandage and waited until about 7am. At this time, I woke my wife up and asked her if she could help me rebandage my finger. Of course she asked what I did this time, since I'm known to be injury prone when doing things around the house. She then proceeded to tell me what a jackass I was for not waking her up immediately after it had happened . I thought I was being considerate by letting her sleep to a reasonable time. I figured the piece wasnt big enough to sew back on, and i wasnt in danger of bleeding to death, so why should 2 people suffer as a result of my own stupidity.
It was one of those things that i knew I was doing something stupid. Knew I was going to get hurt, but did it anyway. I almost felt like i deserved it

Larry, anytime I do something really stupid and my own fault, I am reluctant to let anyone know. I tend to try to brush it off. "Oh just a little cut. Nothing serious." That doesn't always fly. Not when the blood is seeping through. It can be difficult trying to wrap one's hand with the other and it is not your good hand that y ou are wrapping with. Even worse when it is your good hand that is injured. That is always going to be the hand you bang constantly until it heals.
Yeah, Im lucky it wasn't my good hand. Definitely could have been worse. As for my injury, there was no way I could hide it . I have the pictures to prove it, just didnt think it would go over well in this thread
A good quick remedy I liked to use working in a kitchen was anytime you got a cut (one that didn't require stiches) you grab salt with your good hand, stuff your cut into it, wrap it and shove your hand into a glove. Less then 45 sec. and your right back to work. Letting it sit like that will dry it out and more often than not after work the cut had stopped bleeding and it even healed quicker. Could just be all in my head but I like to think it worked.
