    Casualty visit last night…..

    Just got home after a good gym session – was chopping sweet potatoes for evening meal.

    Sliced through middle finger to the bone.

    Called neighbour to take me to A&E as tip was flapping – brain shut down, woke up on the kitchen floor, in a cold sweat.

    Casualty got me stitched and bandaged, but my lower back is now really painful from falling onto it like a sack of spuds.

    Hopefully will get some sympathy from gym girl when I see her next – scared of my back seizing up, and a very easy low impact class on tonight, and see if that eases things up.

    Not a happy person today…….. Feeling achy, hacked off and down-right generally sick.

      Almost impossible - using just 2 fingers for typing now.

      Not wearing the obligatory tie in the office either due to not being able to tie the darned thing....

        Your life is an unmitigated disaster.

        HTF does anybody chop to the bone? If you were wielding it like a sword on sweet potatoes then you need some cooking lessons.

          When I was your age we used to deliberately chop at our fingers with large heavy knives. Sometimes going to the bone

          That way, if you do ever have an accident, at least you dont faint and embarrass yourself in front of the neighbours. It sort of toughens you up

            Knife was blunt and it was a very thick potato, so yes, I was wielding like a sword!

                When I was about 10 I had a nasty playground accident and sliced my hand open.
                Managed to find the teacher on duty, told her I'd cut my hand, which was quite obvious as there was blood pissing out everywhere.

                  A blunt knife is often the cause of chopping mishaps. Buy yourself a decent knife and a steel/sharpener.

                    Trying to cut potato while your mind is wandering about, thinking how you can shag the gym girl etc, wont help.

                    Cutting potato needs focus and determination. No distractions allowed.
