Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Ouch! I'm no stranger to slicing or grating my hands but I've never done it so bad that I had to go to ED. Though I've done it bad enough to wonder if I should go 😆.

I thought about not going but it didn't seem like it would stop bleeding. Unfortunately it wasn't the type like a slice where you could hold it together and it clots up and stops bleeding. The doctor couldn't stitch it either, I think the word he used was "trimmed". Deep enough to continue bleeding but no way to close it up, hence the cauterisation. It's not fun I can tell you, it's also on my dominant hand which is annoying as I can't get it wet!

Youch! Hope it heals up nicely!

The more you describe it the more horrible it sounds. I have questions, but I'm not going to ask them because I don't want to know the answers 😅
