[Gemini]

I have cut my thumb on a can of tomatoes while makingGSs tea. Deepish cut to the pad. Every time I use the hand it ble3ds again. I am laboriously doing this with my left hand. It is my main reflexology thumb and I have a client tomrrow!
I may just read and Like posts for the rest of the day!!

Ouch indeed Gem. You have to be so careful opening tins. Years ago I managed to slice through the tendon on my right thumb whilst opening a tin of peaches. Ended up with an operation and six weeks in plaster, so please take extra care. Hope it's not too painful.

Ouch indeed , I hope you cleaned it well you never know what germs cans carry , maybe need a butterfly clip plaster to keep it closed , I always keep some of those in as SIL is always cutting himself with his Stanley knife when cutting carpets . Xxx

Painful Gem! Will you have to put your client off or can you manage without it?

[Daisy]

Ouch, Gem. That sounds very painful, and a real nuisance. I hope you're ok for your client tomorrow. xx

[Gemini]

Not sure if I can work, I will have to experiment in the morning! Don't fancy my chances of getting couch in and out of boot either!
No steri strips Oma but I think I will get some tomorrow.

Oh poor you Gemini, hope it stops bleeding soon

[Nanto2girls]

I bet it's sore Gem, and it's surprising how much we need/use our thumbs.Hope it heals quickly.

[Glammanana]

I bet its sore poor you,wouldn't you think every can had ring pulls now to make the job easier.

[Gemini]

Thanks everyone. We use our thumbs so much!!

[Gemini]

It was still bleeding slightly if I used my right hand, so I bought some steri strips and used those, then covered it with biggish padded flesh coloured plaster (I had to go to buy them wear a Hello Kitty plaster
I have decided to cancel the client, I don't think I can do a good treatment with that thumb out of action! He was very understanding, and we have moved his treatment to next week.

My friend who I was due to have lunch with has got a bug We will rearrange when she is better. So.... my busy day is now just dropping in on mum for an hour!

[Grauntie Mag]

I do hope the thumb heals quickly Gem. It makes hard work of everything.

[Daisy]

Gem - I hope your thumb gets better quickly. It sounds like a really deep cut.

I had to smile at the Hello Kitty plaster, though. I've just stocked our plasters up because we only had Winnie the Pooh ones!

[Gemini]

Its fine today Keeping it covered but its not painful and no bleeding. Fastening the baby's poppers at nappy change while putting no pressure on that thumb is something of a challenge however!

[Daisy]

Gem - sometimes poppers are impossible (or unpoppable!) even with two good thumbs! It's all too easy to forget and use your thumb which then hurst like mad.
