Don't try to catch a falling dish - or you'll end up like me with a gash
in your left hand.


one of the worst cuts I suffered was from running up the stairs with an armful
of dishes to be washed. I tripped right at the top and everything smashed and
I bled like mad. Probably should have got stitches in a couple places but I
hate stitches more than I hate bleeding like that.

The funny thing is I never minded getting stitches until I sliced my
left index finger while trying to repair a connector. Bled like all
hell, I finally sop up enough blood that I decide to hit the emergency
room. By the time I'd gotten there the blood had clotted nicely and the
bleeding stopped but the doctor decided to clean it out.

The worst part of that was the fact that he had to do a local
anesthetic, shot right between my index and middle fingers. Yow! That's
one tender area let me tell you.

Then he proceeded to rinse it out and the bleeding started anew. Four
stitches later and all was well.

I've thus far had 27 stiched on my arms, head and that finger. I've
gotten proficient at taking them out when the time comes. Matter of fact
when I had the stiches in my head (car accident) they gave me the kit to
remove the stitches. Ever since then if they don't give them to me I ask
for it.
