I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.
The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.
I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.
Sharpen that peeler!
Good advice. I will add this to the list of activities I plan to do this weekend.
Not a bad time to check your lawnmower blades if your in the northern hemisphere.
It is good to be safe. I will check these blades, too.
Preventable accidents can happen. The peeler accident has concerned me. I should look after my safety and well-being. On Tuesday when the businesses reopen, I will check insurance coverage and make sure that everything is in order for my beneficiaries.
I don’t think I have used a bandage in years. Gauze and medical tape are superior in every way except convenience.
You are correct. My thumb was bleeding so I reached for the first thing I had. I purchased two boxes of generic bandages through a buy one get one sale years ago. It was a good deal.
In 2031 when I have used up the bandages, I will check out gauze and medical tape. I think they may be a more thrifty decision with better results.
You get injured far lighter and less often than I do. Some would call you safer, I say you are just better at making good decisions.
Lived with a chef who told me about a time she was grating potatoes to make hash browns. She grated off a portion of skin from her thumb, and because there was not much blood in the piece of skin, she couldn’t find it where it landed in the grated pieces of potato.
Was too lazy to throw the already grated bowl of potato (and finger chunk), so made the brownies, cooked them up and served them to the guests.
Some chefs are animals.
That’s gross, irresponsible, and reprehensible. Bad chef.
Fully agree. They told me some absolute horror stories about what some chefs got up to.
Bog roll and gaffer tape
This guy bleeds brit blood.
Plumbers tape tied in a bow. At least it’s easy to remove.
