For Hyke: I stuck my finger with my scissors!

['andersom']

  A couple of nights ago, I stuck myself in the thumb with my scissors.
  I am not seriously injured.  It's under control.  Just keeping everyone in the loop. 

How do you get scissor accidents often enough to make a thread about it and revive the thread?

Did you clip your nail too short, or did you plunge the scissor in your thumb like a stabbing knife?

How deep is the wound? Can you see it on the other side of your thumb?

And would you have preferred me asking all these questions in separate threads?

  ^     I was just washing the scissors by hand, making the blades clean and safe, and one tip
   stuck me in the thumb.  It was just a tiny pricking wound.  It's all gone now.  I like this thread.

Hi CBC,

While applying another layer of shiny nailpolish on the nail of my left thumb, I'll tell you what happened.

Every decade or less, I slip, when cutting mature cheese. Last Friday it was my turn again, while cooking. There was a bit of blood and an amazing small amount of pain. I put on bandaids and went on with the cooking. After dinner I noticed the knife had gone in my nail in a perpendicular way. Hence the lack of pain. But now the nail would get stuck behind everything when doing things. So, cut it as short as I could. Also trimmed the flaps on the skin of my thumb. The bleeding had stopped. It was a nice clean wound. No nasty effects. Am now keeping my nail together with a fair amount of layers of nailpolish.

It's not really deep. In a month or so, I should be able to function without the use of nailpolish again.

       for a fine do-it-yourself repair job, and for trimming the flaps!
