that slightly chewy thing in with the homemade croutons?
:ugh2:
yeah, that's the tip of my left thumb.
Did three and a half hours in the emergency room, too, because it wouldn't stop bleeding, and literally soaked through four changes of gauze.
I was cutting the day-old bread into croutons, because we were making Caeser Salads that night in class, and didn't pull my thumb back fast enough, so I've now got a nice flat-ended thumb, just past the end of my nail bed. :shock: I managed to pull the rest of the thumb out of the way in time. Didn't realize I'd stuck the thumb out so far under the knife's path, to be honest. As the cut was going down, I realized it, and pulled the thumb back, but not quite fast enough. So, my thumb's about 97% whole, just a little flat-ended now. Lucky that it stopped bleeding when it did, because the docotr said that if it didn't, cauterization was the next step. :cry:
