My So Not Uneventful Morning

It was a nice, quiet Wednesday morning, and we had some family kids stay over (girl 15, boy 10). I was making breakfast as they were waking. I had a butter knife to separate those little "Brown N Serve" sausages. Well, I cut my finger to the bone. Half of my finger was severed at the bottom near my hand. Blood was everywhere.

The boys were in the kitchen with me when it happened. I managed to get a towel and call my husband to come home because I knew it was going to require medical attention.
It was bleeding so bad.

So, I told the boys to go wake up the 15 yr. old girl. She came to the kitchen, and I turned to tell her that I would need her to watch the kids while I went to Urgent Care. Before I could finish, she passed out cold...right on my kitchen floor.

She has low blood sugar, so I wasn't sure exactly what to do. She'd wake for a few seconds, and I was trying to coax her to drink some OJ. I was still bleeding profusely, and couldn't do much.

So, I called 911. They came out. As they were walking into my kitchen, I surveyed what they were walking into. It was a blood bath, and an unconscious girl also covered with blood. Ugh. Good thing they believed me, LOL.

Apparently, she saw blood and fainted...

What a morning!

I finally made it to Urgent Care and they glued the wound, but it didn't hold. I was supposed to get stitches, but I think it will heal okay. I'm keeping it wrapped and clean.

*GASP*

Oh my word!!!! What a morning indeed! wow! You poor thing, cutting yourself with a BUTTER knife no less! OUCH OUCH!!! How's that injury doing now??

And awwwwwwwww, I'm sure I might have fainted too, first thing in the morning after a night fast! Blood doesn't usually freak me out but add in those two elements and i'm sure i'd have been laid out on the floor too!

Hope you had cereal around for the change in breakfast plans instead!!! *smile*
