Unhappy My Weekend's Injury - If squeemish don't look in.

So this weekend I took the SV out for a nice run, went Kayaking and did some DIY - so what was it that caused me to have 5 stitches in my hand?

Give up?

Washing up a Tesco glass in tepid water, it then exploded into my hand going nice and deep and allowing me to see my tendons and the inside of my hand - quite cool!

I was home alone, so had to turn off PC/TV/Oven, turn off lights and then drive myself to casualty - this was after making a tourniquet out of a pair of pants (only thing I could find as the girlfriend has washed the teatowels and hidden them.) which i then covered with a damp tea towel from the washing line.

Quite funny in retrospect, but this is the second of these glasses that has broken - think it is the wierd design and manufacturing problem - have emailed tesco to let them know.

Only one person at work has taken the p*** so far.

No washing up for 10 days (woohoo), but have to wear a plastic bag on my hand in the shower, and generally have to try and do more with my left hand.

Oh well - thought that might cheer up a dull monday

Both 'cool' and 'owww' spring to mind!

Weirdly, looking at that kind of stuff doesn't bother me but stick any politician on the telly and they make so nauseous.

Cheers guys for comments - was wierd having to sort myself out having done loads of first aid to others in the past. Is fine - just a bit of a pain, especially when trying to get to sleep.

Yuck, I always suspected that doing the washing up was a bad idea.

That looks nasty, but the positive is this. If you sit on your other hand for long enough, it feels like someone else is doing it!

Hope that you heal quickly, that plastic bag thing in the shower is really irritating isn't it? Mind you it is no where nearly as bad as a full rubber cat suit so think yourself lucky...

Oh Ian, do you actually have a girlfriend, remember cardboard cut outs don't really count?
