This morning while cutting up carrots for our scrambled tofu breakfast, I sliced a piece of flesh off my left middle finger. It bled. Then bled some more. Then bled more. So off I went to the emergency room, ever so grateful for having health insurance. The wait was not too bad at all since it was early Saturday morning. I received three stitches from a cutie-pie doctor and one tetanus shot from a nice nurse. I imagine the bill will be about $800. Where in God's name would I get that money from without insurance?
My finger is throbbing!!! Ouch!
Gotta get the stitches removed in a week.
There's something to be said for mindfulness. And with a 20 month old screaming to be picked up, it's often hard to achieve. But what a lesson today! I have to try.
And I need to stop rushing. Sheesh.
How's that for a fun Saturday??

So sorry about your finger. How'd you ever manage to type your post?
Lots and lots and lots of backspacing! LoL.
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Sorry about the finger :( My mom does that all the time! You probably didn't need the tetanus shot though. That mighta saved you on the $800!
I *know* I didn't need the tetanus as profusely as it was bleeding. I just didn't argue because of the pain! If I had to pay out of pocket, I would have definitely declined!
ouchie ! my mom does that all the time too ! feel better ..
