Just wanna share an incident with u gals. Happened last Thursday. Was trying to blend food for my baby's dinner that nite using a hand-held immersion blender. There was food stuck at the blades of the blender, so I unconsciously stuck my index finger up the blades to remove the food while my the other hand was still pressing the power button.
Usually i would use a spoon but dunno why this time round so absent-minded. Hubby was shouting 'Don't do that!' but too late already.
The top part of the finger already kenna 'blended' too...
Hubby was feeding Ethan dinner then, so got to abandon the poor boy's dinner and rush to the ER.
Spent 3 hrs in the ER, and got about 12 stitches. Surgeon said it was pretty mangled but good thing that it did not injure the bone, was only a flesh wound. I must say that it really looked very gross. Thank God that I was only in pain the next day, and after that life was pretty back to normal. Finger is on the road to recovery now, but still gotta wrap in dressing.
Hubby has all along been harping me about my carelessness in handling sharp objects, so I guess I learnt my lesson well this time round.
Sorry for my long-windedness, thought it might serve as a reminder to everyone while in the kitchen.
