OOPS ouch
just found out the hard way why not to clean the shower plug cover; it is metal and whilst cleaning it slipped and I cut through the nerves of my right thumb
4 hours and an operation later I am on arret de travail for 15 days and the doc 'thinks' it will repair itself
oh well ; no money but a good rest for 2 weeks!

Re: OOPS ouch
good idea; in fact i struck lucky my local A+E is very close and is apparently renowned for its hand surgeons

Looks nice. I guess better than hauling arse into the city well the outskirts. I had to go to Purpan for a set of Rabies jabs, It kind of reminded me of a 70`s NHS hospital. But both Purpan and Rangueil are under going a major refits.

Re: OOPS ouch

Re: OOPS ouch
Ouch! Two years back, I sliced half-way through my thumb with a stanley knife - stopped where it hit bone. Sprayed blood over all four walls of the lounge, so I wrapped it up tight, then went to sleep hoping it wasn't that bad. In the morning, I unwrapped it and it was disgusting, so I drove one handed to A&E... I kind of know what you're going through... You can't afford to lose an opposable thumb!

Re: OOPS ouch
Appreciate your A & E is local (as ours is) but the point I was making was more to do with a state of mind. If you overlook the truth of the location and imagine otherwise, you will think more baout anything you are likely to do. (Look at it as Health and Safety on the cheap - which is about the only thing that is, in France at the moment - chuckle)
