I'M SUCH A CLUTZ....

Not less than 2 days after Sam's incident, did I begin to feel left out. On Wednesday our shipment of ornamental shrubs and flowering trees came so we started our frivolous planting once again. I guess this is where I declare a blonde moment. I went to cut a piece of twine with some shears and somehow ended up stabbing my lip with the point. I can't begin to explain how I did it. It just doesn't make sense. It was rather deep but a very small incision. When I smiled it showed just how deep I stabbed. I couldn't believe it. So I thought about it and here are my mad nursing skills....

  • Clean out wound with water.
  • Pour hydrogen peroxide on several times to get the germs out.
  • Dry and use super glue to hold shut.

So far it has worked great. I guess we will see in a week how it turns out. I look at it as saving $200 in the ER room.

P.S. I am really going to invest in Dermabond.
