My chef’s knife. I use it two of three times a day everyday and haven’t really cut myself in like five years, so I was due, and getting arrogant. About a week ago, I was cutting up some lettuce and baby green really fine for the salad I like to make, just chopping away, feeding the lettuce in, and suddenly I felt the numb feeling of a slice. It wouldn’t stop bleeding unless I kept pressure on it, so I wrapped it tight with a bandaid and slept with it elevated. It had stopped by morning. I found the piece… LOL
The top photo collage is of photos I took the day after, about 14 hours, after the actual injury. The bottom photo collage I just took. Isn’t it cool how fast the skin heals from even such deep avulsions?
