I also found your blog looking for a kubbeh recipe. Then I spent at least a half hour reading more of your razor wit and delish recipes.

And then this! o.O
Holy ef, that’s some crazy sh. Hope that healed up.

I wish you already posted something–anything–to push this mess off the screen. I can’t look at it anymore.

I actually did the very same thing last year on Super Bowl Sunday, right before the big game (the affected digit was my right thumb). But I didn’t want to miss the game–we were having a New York Giants party–so I wrapped a gauze sock around the thumb and applied pressure throughout the game. Kinda sorta worked.

The next day my wife insisted that I see a doctor, probably because there was blood all over the sheets.

The doctor told me that she had done the very same thing–AND on Super Bowl Sunday–while she was in medical school. I asked what she did.

“The same thing you did.”

Anyway, the Giants beat the Pats so it was worth it in the end. And all I’ve got is a small numb area in my right thumb.

Well…it works better for cuts, really…it seals the wound. For complete amputations of chunks of flesh, like I did, it’s not as great…it stopped the gushing for awhile, but eventually the blood worked through the glue cap and started oozing, so I had to put on those damned plastic prep gloves to keep the blood out of the food, and those gloves are loose, so I kept cutting slivers of plastic off the glove while chiffonading basil. Bad scene.

When I got off, I bought gauze and finger condoms, and that works better than glue. Moral of the story, though, is to pay attention and not lop off pieces of yourself.
