GRAPHIC LOVE: GROSS!
GROSS right? Yeah I know and guess what? It's my thumb! I did this on thursday night (I will post the story below) and when I took the band-aid off friday morning this is what I found. As soon as I saw it I thought..."GROSS! I need to take a picture and send it to Brett, and I need to put it on facebook and on our blog!" I came to the realization that people like graphic! As gross as we claim it to be, and however much we think it shouldn't be as common as it is in the media, WE LOVE IT and thats why it is in such abundance, it sells! People have enjoyed seeing my wound in its most graphic state...if I showed you a picture now you wouldn't be as impressed or interested! The story...

After coming home from a long day, Brett started on his mountain of homework and I started on dinner...a lovely Shepherd's Pie. All was going well and I was in the last stages of the cooking. I just needed to put grated cheese on top and bake it in the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese and make it nice and warm.
I successfully started to grate the cheese and was almost done when SLIP goes my thumb right into the grater! I made an exclamation of "AH!" and Brett came to the rescue, he sent me to the bathroom to run it under water. There wasn't much pain but quite a bit of blood. Everything was going to be ok!
Luckily Kathy had sent us a little first aid kit and so we had band-aids on hand. Brett went to grab them and as he did I started to get faint...he came back to find me on the floor. I hadn't passed out, but the shock had its effects!
We put the band-aid on and Brett finished the last 2 steps of dinner whilst I sat down. Since it has been fine, just a little difficult to do things like fold laundry and write, and shower and so forth haha.
I took the band-aid off this morning and the above picture is what I found! Gross huh? It is starting to fill in a bit, but it still bleeds every now and then and hurts to bend! Maybe I will get a cool scar out of it though!!

Ahh Kymee that is crazy! Cooking is dangerous sometimes! I feel like I almost always have some little cut from a knife, but never something that bad! But it's like you said, we LOVE graphic. It's kind of weird, but I think it may have something to do with the novelty of it too. We're not used to seeing thumbs that look like that! Hope it is feeling better and you can get back to doing things like folding laundry and showering:) haha. I bet the scar will be great.
I love cheese, but I have never loved cheese graters. I've also cut myself on them before, so I'm afraid I'll do it again every time I use one. But I also REALLY hate washing them! ....and I love shepherd's pie! : )
I'm ok with a cheese grater, but I'm always getting paper cuts. Oh, and your picture is gross!!! :)
Nasty, nasty! Though your Shepard's Pie sounds lovely (hopefully without your skin mixed in, though! Ouch!)
