Three Thoughts for Thursday
by jphilo | Oct 15, 2015 |
- Improbable as it sounds, it is possible for a grown woman to lose control of the knife she’s using to remove the label from a container destined for recycling, stab her hand at the base of the thumb, and sever the tendon to thumb, even though the wound is only a centimeter wide and barely bleeds. Don’t ask how I know this.
- If such a scenario occurs and the grown woman is examined by a hand surgeon who repairs severed tendons, he may look admiringly at the incision and say, “Talk about surgical precision! The odds of hitting that exact spot on purpose, much less by accident, are almost impossible.”
- Not only that, but the surgery team will cut the grown woman a lot of slack for her stupidity because the accident only happened because she was doing her part to save the environment.
Ouch! I hope it feels worse than it looks. 🙁
Oh my! Prayers of healing for that grown woman, whoever that anonymous person may be.
Thank you, Lorna. I’ll pass the message along to her.
It looks much worse than it feels. I was on Percaset for about 35 hours after surgery, then Tylenol, and no pain killers at all since Monday.
Maybe just leave the environment in the hands of the one who created it. 🙂
I just realized what I MEANT to say was that I hope it feels BETTER than it looks. I don’t want it to feel worse! 🙂
That’s what I thought, Sherri!
Now that sounds like something I would do but I’m not so sur I would have had such profound thoughts about it! Now you can call in all those favors for “let me know if I can help” since dishes and scrubbing and laundry that might get your hand in soap or water are out for a few days! Take care of yourself.
Good point, Henrietta. Do you think someone would be gullible enough to clean my oven?
