It's just as well Tam is here - but then if she wasn't, I would not need to go to Minor Ailments at all. I was shutting the little wooden shutter on the small bedroom window in Tam's room last night and one side wouldn't fold flat, so I pushed my hand against it and it suddenly shut tight, snatching skin from my middle left finger in it and crushing it open. Then it bled and didn't stop for about 15 mins, even with my arm up in the air. Boy did it throb. The dressing I have on it is soaked with blood but I daren't change it and set off the bleeding again. I'm booked in now at Llandod now, so will be glad to have the sticky strips in place and a dry dressing. I managed to have the dressing work off in the night and my nice clean bedding is now blood stained . . .
I am having to spend out on a good dehumidifier for the house too, as humidity levels here are very high. 80 this morning, and this chap was lurking on the living room carpet! I've had tiny ones under the French doors before but this was a monster.
We had a lovely time with my cousin and her husband yesterday and they took us out for lunch in town. It was good to see them again. They are staying at Rhayader, so just half an hour up the road.
Right, this won't do. Rosie is watching tv and eating dry cornflakes - she is cutting molars and getting any food down her a trial right now. Unless it's strawberries and she will eat those all day long! Tam is in the shower and I have to figure out how to get my bra on one handed! Glad we can go to MI in Llandod and not have to go to Hereford.
Ouch! You have certainly been in the wars lately. I hope you get seen quickly and it behaves itself once the dressing is on. Good luck with the bra...
ReplyDeleteWell this is the 3rd bleeding episode so perhaps the sign of 3 has been outed now. Tam did the bra for me.
DeleteTeething in a toddler always seems a very unfair thing, poor Rosie.
ReplyDeleteMinor ailments are so easy to do, I hope you get relief soon x
Yes, Tam said it would be best if they were born with teeth or got them all at once.
DeleteOh no - you do seem to be "in the wars" lately. Take care
ReplyDeleteIn the wars - that's it exactly. Finger wrapped up and more comfy now.
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your finger and I hope you get seen quickly and get a better dressing on it.
ReplyDeleteIt had stopped bleeding by the time they took the dressing off (but that was completely red!). Thicker dressing now and some spares too.
DeleteOuch, poor you. It sounds like a bit of luck yesterday finding the third volume of your book series, and then you're straight back to bad luck. That must have been REALLY painful. I hope they sort it out for you at the minor ailments department. xx
ReplyDeleteIt did hurt rather, especially when it throbbed. Let's hope this is the third and final bleeding problem, and I'm OK from now on.
DeleteThe book arrival will cheer me up no end.
Oh the joys of teething!
ReplyDeleteWe've just got a smallish dehumidifier to help with drying the washing indoors in winter......I hate it when slugs etc come in the house - yuk
Alison in Devon x
Yes, bottom molar just breaking through the gum so bound to be painful, poor little mite. The only consolation was Glam-ma's strawberries :)
DeleteJust ordered the only dehumidifier Tam insisted would do for this house, so my pocket has had another hit!
So sorry about your injury. The non-stop bleeding is a worry. Medication induced?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely - I'm on blood thinners. I have only damaged my fingers badly since being on them! Sod's Law.
DeleteOh no. Blood thinners keep small cuts from stopping. I cut my finger tip a few weeks ago and it wouldn't stop bleeding tho I do not use blood thinners. Made me think of you w rotary cutter injury. It was late, knife picked up wrong while doing last of evening dish washing---so I bandaged it up and hoped for the best. Now I can't even see it, all gone, healed.
ReplyDeleteBra, close the clasp or ask Tam then pull it over your head?
On my own with the bra tomorrow. I have a stretchy one I may use if I struggle with this. Tam will be at work when I get to hers to help Jon look after Rosie, as he will struggle with her upset as she is.
