Darn You Avocado






I was at my moms house getting stuff out for sandwiches today. I cut the french bread in half with a bread knife and then went to cut the avocado with the same knife......BIG MISTAKE! I went down with the knife to cut the pit of the avocado and cut my thumb instead of the avocado pit! My thumb started bleeding everywhere so I rushed over to the sink to wash it off. As soon as the blood got washed away I could see how deep it was. I was freaking out of course, pretty much crying with panic while my sister was offering me a percaset (sp?) to make me feel better:) I yelled for my mom and she said I needed to go to urgent care for stitches! 3 hours of waiting, 2 stitches, and a funky hand wrap later I am good as new! I have to wear this thing for two days! I look like a boxer getting ready to enter the ring! What a day!!!

Oh my gosh Adria!!!! You could have lost your thumb. You will never look at Avocados the same way again. I hope you don't lose any feeling in your thumb. That happened to me for a while. Good grief...leave the big knives for big things child!
