The Finger...

Happy Monday to you all.. hope you had a good weekend..
Mine wasn't brilliant, I am still in a bit of pain, even with taking the painkillers
Grab yourself a coffee or a nice cup of tea.. I shall begin..


On Thursday I was preparing tea BBQ pork,to go with rice and salad,  but the knife wasn't cutting too well, so out comes my super knife sharpener (my steel)that I have had since I did my chef's course years ago.. anyway I thought I might as well sharpen all the knifes in the drawer.. half an hour later all sharp washed and put away..tea sorted..
I woke up on Friday normal time of 6.45 just a normal morning (rolls eyes)
Go into the kitchen to make coffee and do Paul's pack up, get the bread buns out and filling etc...  by this time Paul is showered and in the kitchen, He takes over making the coffee while I start to cut the bread buns...and OUCH.
Well it went down hill from there... Paul saw what I did before I realized, as I had sharpened the knifes I didn't feel the knife slice the tip of my finger off, I just noticed the blood... straight to tap (deep breath, now the head is spinning)
I grab some tissue and wrap it round my finger... thinking OMG I feel sick....
Now at this point I hadn't seen the tip of my finger...as it was still on the chopping board... but Paul being Paul.. picked it up and showed me.... to which I just slapped his hand because to be quiet honest I didn't want to see it.. I wasn't feeling to good anyway...
The finger tip.... went for a fly across the kitchen, towards the dog... Tasmin saw it coming...
OMG Tasmin will eat it... so there I go chasing my finger tip across the kitchen... I get there first...(phew)
I had to pick it up (yuk yuk yuk) I put it into the bin...
Paul takes over the making of his pack up... washes the knife and board, throws the bun with blood on in bin too...
I am stood next to him..feeling rather strange...  All of a sudden I get that horrible feeling, you know the one when your just about to be sick !!! So I toddle off to our En suite bathroom, BUT
wait for it...lol.. On the way I start to go dizzy, my head is pounding and I am getting hot... never ever have I felt like this before, and to be quiet honest I was a little scared.. but I kept on going, and managed to get into our bathroom.. I am now facing the toilet... 
Nothing is happening... I know I need to be sick..but wait...the toilet is getting closer... OMG It is so close I can nearly touch the water with my nose...
Next I know I am slumped on the floor with my back against the sink.. mmm how on earth did I get here.. 
I shout for Paul... no use he's still doing his buns in the kitchen... I am now hot...so hot that I am sweating all over... so I think... lay on the tiled floor....cool down... deep breath Claire..Paul will check on you in a minute... 
I am laid there for what seems like ages... getting hotter and breathing in and out...you know the type..like when your in labor....  My finger is throbbing along with the finger next to it.. I double check just in case I did manage to cut two..but no just the one... 
now can you not just imagine..me laid on the bathroom floor...sweating, arm upright with my little finger pointing up...breathing like I am just about to give birth...( big grin)
I hear the bedroom door...and Paul asking if I am ok... I ask him to help... he opens the bathroom door, and looks shocked, asking why I am on the floor, and why I have been in the shower !!! 
I must have looked a right sight... anyway he helps me up and walks me to our bed... I am now feeling silly, as I am trying to explain IN GREAT detail of what happened and how I am feeling... 
I sit there for five minutes then decide it's time to look at the finger... and YUK
This pic was taken later on in the day, as it took about four hours for it to stop bleeding, 
It doesn't look that bad like a small slither...lol..
here is the side view... you can see how much I cut off, the red part is  how much gunky stiff is making my finger look rounder again...
So I must warn you... If you sharpen your knives remember that you have... although from experience many years ago, it is best to be cut by a sharp knife than a not so sharp, you get a much cleaner cut...lol


OUCH OUCH OUCH
I will NOT be doing that again in a hurry.. 


The main reason it hurts... (stupid idiot face) second reason, I have had to rely on Paul to wash my hair, and have had to have bath's !!!! So I don't get it wet.. 
Hate Baths..!!!


STUPID STUPID CLAIRE


On a lighter note...look at my craft friend 
As usual Tasmin is sat by my side.. well not literally, she is on my PC chair, while I am on Paul's, She sit's there for hours while I craft, Bless... Although she has on a few occasions tried to bite my little finger thinking it looks nice and red, it must be edible... 


There you go... Claire's stupid morning... Sorry it was a long post, but you know me..once I get typing I can't stop...and there was lots to tell...


My coffee is now cold (grumpy face) so am going to go make another..and do yet another post...
A card this time though.... for a couple of challenges... (so so addictive)


Thank you very much for stopping by, and hopefully you didn't fall asleep...
