One sore thumb!!!!

I have a very sore, poorly, throbbing thumb at the moment!!!!
Yesterday while washing out a can before putting it out in the recycling ~ I decided to slice part of my thumb with the tin!!

There was rather alot of blood and it wouldn't stop bleeding, I ran it under the cold tap and wrapped some kitchen roll around it, but it kept bleeding........and then really started to hurt!!!

My friend who popped in for a cup of tea had a look and decided that it definitly needed stitches (at which point I went into a major huge panic.........NEEDLES, PAIN, STITCHES ~ YUCK!!!!) I left it until this morning, when I decided that I should maybe go and get it looked at ~ which was an experience in itself (I have never liked going to the Doctors!!!!).

Luckily after a bit of prodding and pulling (and me doing my best brave face!!), it was decided that no stitches were required and the job could be done with some harmless (and painless )steristrips (my new favourite medical procedure ~ no needles, no pain, no having stitches or having them removed ~ yes I am a chicken!!!).

Anyway, I have had a sore thumb all day, but I think that it is on the mend. I was going to try and take a picture of the poorly thumb, but the camera has died (forgot to charge the battery ~ again!!).

I have spent all day feeling very sorry for myself and cursing that damn can that decided to slice my thumb off (well ~ almost ha ha!!). The only good part is that I am not meant to get it wet, which means that I cannot possibly do any washing up today!!!!! ~ Maybe having a sliced thumb is not that bad after all lol!!!
