Tongue Mel...you are so generous...

Your friend is lucky to have you!

We just got home, and had a minor emergency. I had bought my son the
requested food processor, so he was trying it out, slicing the potatoes,
for mashies, and sliced the tip off his finger! About a 1/2 inch a moon slice, replete with blood everywhere! I still don't know how he managed to do it, really.

So I had to do the meal... and do first aid on him. My hubby went to a 24hr
Walgreen's and we could find the right bandages, but when I left, it was still bleeding. So tomorrow he will have to probably go to an urgent care. There is nothing to "stitch"...but maybe a finger guard will help it some. It will throb tonight I expect.
He poo poohed it..saying he has had worse, but you know how Mom's are.

It has been a while since I have had to deal with "blood"... so I was a bit out of practice. We couldn't find the bit to stick back on (it will grow back you know), and we don't know where it ended up...cough cough.
