An unintentional interesting day yesterday!! Had a fall yesterday evening & cut my hand badly & nicked a blood vessel. It just would not stop bleeding. Off to A & E. Many hours later it was stitched & x-rayed. Shattered today & not at my best. Bah.
I was in the house & had a cup in my hand.
My lovely cat mug that I only got last week is sadly no more.
A & E was certainly an interesting experience!!
The vending machine even took Apple pay!! ~~who knew.
THe staff where lovely.

Oh no Beanie. Glad you got it dressed properly. As for washing fingers - I used a flannel and just wiped them carefully. Is it your right or left hand - wish I was close enough to come and help.January spends - £587.584

It's the right hand.

Oh Beanie sorru to hear that, hope you're feeling better. I'd second the flannel option for washing your fingers. If you have any hand sanitizer would that help? We used that with DS1 to clean his fingers when he broke his arm last year x
