While closing the window, my left hand slipped and I stabbed my left forearm with the knife (it was so sharp I didn’t feel it!). The force was great enough to get the end of the knife embedded in my forearm bone (ulna), which then broke off and shattered into several pieces in my arm. A trip to A&E, a few X-rays, several hours and four cosmetic surgeons later, they had managed to remove all the pieces of shattered knife from my arm – except for the piece that was lodged in the bone. A visit to the orthopaedic surgeon the next day concluded that the only way to remove the remaining piece of the knife was to break my bone. I declined, and endured another few months of weekly X-rays so the surgeon could monitor that the bone was successfully knitting over the knife. It’s still there to this day (as is the scar), and I do sometimes set off metal detectors in airports! Most amusing part of the whole story – my partner arriving at A&E wielding the rest of the knife (why?!) resulting in a security commotion. The worst part of the whole story – losing my beautiful chef’s knife :(JNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982129739924265657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880197938901643862.post-31372124527044944112014-06-23T16:04:29.368+10:002014-06-23T16:04:29.368+10:00I'm simultaneously very clumsy and (relatively...I'm simultaneously very clumsy and (relatively) quick of reflexes. Go figure. <br />While chopping vegetables for soup, I made somehow knocked my housemate's chopping knife from the bench. Without thinking, I put my foot out to catch it, much like I would having dropped a glass. 5 stitches later, I've learned to let falling objects, well, fall.

Then my mate calls out about something funny on TV... and a perfect circle of fingernail joins the onions. No pain at first, but a moment of uncertainty - "did I or did I not?" The blood starts slowly at first, but soon becomes a river. No god, but a man. Never did find that fingernail...sean-ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02339016683728560020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880197938901643862.post-20537162257566099492014-06-22T16:54:15.381+10:002014-06-22T16:54:15.381+10:00I completely agree, "the sharper the knife th...I completely agree, "the sharper the knife the less you cry ' unless you're my husband who has not followed the second rule of "the right tool for the job" and tried to use the knife as a gouging implement to remove an avocado pip and sliced into his hand instead (the avocado pip went nowhere). "No, no!" said our chef friends, "you need to whack the pip and then twist it out with the knife",apparently you pick up some useful tips at cheffing school, "Thanks" said my husband with six stitches -well maybe only two. I made a mental note never to try the gouging technique and to stick to slicing and dicing.Samantha K-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569144177288070184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880197938901643862.post-8277241837796049722014-06-22T16:52:27.711+10:002014-06-22T16:52:27.711+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Samantha K-Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569144177288070184noreply@blogger.com
