Where is Thumbkin?
Where is Thumbkin?Here I am!
Here I am!How are you today sir,
Bleeding lots, I thank you,Run away,
Run away.Today Jon and I had a nice little lunch date just the two of us and I decided I really wanted a mandolin food slicer so I could make some vegetable chips at home. So off to Bed Bath and Beyond we went. While preparing our dinner of shish kabobs, I decided to put this awesome tool to good use. I went to it slicing up a very long zucchini. I thought to myself this baby's long, I'll use the guard attachment when I get close. So I went on slicing and before I knew it I had cut off the pad of my thumb. Jon was outside working on the shed and I motioned to him to come inside. I immediately ran it under water before the pain really settled in. Luckily the hot paramedic was there to put on a pressure dressing. He found my thumb pad stuck to the underneath side of the blade. Unfortunately the next day my thumb stuck to the dressing and I had to peal off the dressing causing it to reopen, thus these AWESOME pictures were born. My favorite is the picture where you can see the blood coagulating in streams while numbing in the ice bath. Enjoy!
