ouch!!

Working as a prep cook , i have to run a meat slicer. Found out about
two weeks ago that i did a very good job of sharping the blade.

The tip of my left index finger is healing very nicely, but still very
very tender. I was cleaning the blade and in a blink of an eye, my
finger was about 3/16 of an inch shorter...ooooops!!!

Crocheting is still possible, since I am a righty, but knitting by hand
is still a little painful. Only missed 4 days of work, I needed some
time off , but went about it the wrong way......LOL!!!!

Ouch, indeed! Also, Yikes!

Don't push your poor sore finger, remember that the exchanges are
supposed to be FUN and your October partner (who still has some ends to
work in anyway) is NOT expecting those squares until your finger is
much, much better. ;-)



-----------------------------------------
Only know that there is no spork.

Bart,

I've wondered why we hadn't seen you here for a little while, now I understand.
Please be very careful as that's not a fun way to have time off from work.

Hugs,

Nora

Poor you, Bart! Odd, isn't it, that we don't realize how much we need finger
tips until something like that happens. And how awful getting time off work
and not being able to crochet (knit)!

Hope you are feeling better.

Mirjam, did you have cigar makers in your family, or just smokers.....My
father was a cigar tobacco brooker in Amsterdam. He made his own cigars,
and I still have an old wooden cigar mold.
