God Bless the NHS

Hi everyone,

As you can imagine, I've been feeling flat this past week. Had a truck-load of assignments too, which was fun. I think the most 'exciting' thing, tragic actually, was that I had an accident. I sliced my finger open with a knife.

It looked like an over-boiled frankfurter, you know when it splits open and the flesh spills out...

Not nice at all. The blood wouldn't stop pouring so I had to have a couple of stitches. 140 AUD for two stitches.

Paying that hurt me more than the knife ;(

Can you see how the area is blue/green? The doc put the needle right in the wound, I nearly passed out.

I didn't let the wound hold me back. The next day I managed (not sure how) to make cook-up soup. Sidenote: Cutting pumpkin with a gammy hand is very difficult. Glad I managed it though ;)

Pumpkin, onions, potatoes, carrots, organic pasta, organic lamb and seasoning

The wound is healing nicely; despite the fact that the nurse didn't take out all of the nylon stitch, so I had to do a DIY job with my tweezers.
