Tiggy Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 since my 21 yr old cat tripped me up yesterday and the blade of the sissors cut into my finger i am feeling very sorry for myself, prob could have done with a stitch or 2 but it hasn't bled through the dressing so far so best leave it alone. you just dont realise how much you need your fingers to do day to day stuff, going to the loo etc can be tricky!!!

jlo Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ooooh - you poor thing. Hope you are able to use your finger soon without it paining too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 You have my sympathy! It can be very awkward with buttons etc. Here's hoping it heals soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Poor you, it sounds scarey and painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Is that ouch for the cat trip and ouch for the scissors? Or were you being very naughty and running with scissors (like Mum told you never to) and tripped over the cat thereby driving the scissors into your finger? Hope it heals up soon, anyway...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ouch indeed - cats should come with warning lights attached! Hope it heals soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ooh, that sounds painful . Hope it heals up quickly . (Have you got someone to help you going to the loo ?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ouch, that made me wince reading your post. Hope you are ok and managing. My brother sliced his hand open with a stanley knife and stuck it back together with superglue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Yeouch Tiggy, I hope you recover soon My brother sliced his hand open with a stanley knife and stuck it back together with superglue I did exactly the same thing! I always keep a load of steri-strips too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always keep a load of steri-strips too. Maybe he's not as mad as I thought after all! I was quite impressed that he managed to do it and neatly too as I'm rubbish with superglue and would probably have stuck my hands together!

Geoid Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 DIY surgery anyone? When I was doing D of E, I got blisters (along with most people), most people stuck a blister plaster on it and walked around complaining how much the blister hurt etc etc, not me. I got out my penknife, sterilized it under a flame and sliced my blister off. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 thanks everyone, the cat survived, I now have proper steri strips on it (the finger not the cat) its typical a dr & a nurse in the house and not a plaster or a paracetamol in sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
