A little blood with breakfast?

So this morning I was making bagel,egg, bacon & cheese sandwichs for the kids. Bagels were frozen, so I was using my fabulously sharp Pampered Chef knives to cut them apart. (You can see where this is going, don't you?!) I made 8 of them. Once those were gone I got up to make some more. They were a big hit! Anyhow, the bagels had thawed a bit, so when I when to cut one open, it sliced right thru the bagel and part of my pinky finger!

I instantly clinched my hand into a fist and still dripped blood 4 feet to the sink. There was a LOT of blood! I grabbed 2 paper towels and put them inside my fist and kindof wrapped it around my finger. Within 30 seconds the paper towel was drenched. I was worried! Kevin was in interviews all day. I had 6 kids at home and knew a simple bandage wasn't going to stop this. So I got another paper towel and stuck in there. It was GROSS! I could see muscle. NASTY! I do not do well with my own blood, for some reason. Anyhow, I called Kevin's just to see if he was inbetween interviews. Seeing one started at 9 and it was 9:10, if figured not. But talked to one of his secretaries. Needed an adult who was calm. Not kids freaking out! I decided to just keep it wrapped tight and pray it would stop bleeding. 3 minutes later Kevin called and was on his way home. Interview was short. He superglued my finger. I felt like throwing up and passing out all at once! Here is the end result.



That is all cut! My finger feels a little strange, I am thinking nerve damage. Guess I won't be swimming today!

Got a LOT more to update on the blog....stay tuned!
