Fiberewetopia: At the intersection of spinning, weaving and knitting....

Later that same day...
Color me....
Foolish: for not throwing out that lamp a long time ago.
Careless: for trying to move it the way that I did.
Wounded: just got back from the emergency room with 5 new stitches.
Fortunate: that the thumb extensor tendons, though exposed were not cut.
P.S. It appears that the blood stains did indeed lift right out of the new carpet. (Can you believe it....blood stains and the carpet wasn't even installed for 18 hours?!)
OMG, Valerie! Ouch!! I don't know of any house remodeling/redecorating project that doesn't have a boo-boo or two, but stitches are a bit extreme. I almost always limit myself to a good hammer blow on one of my fingers. Glad it was a simple stitch job and no long rehab for that thumb, but that was a close call huh? You take care. Look out for old cranky lamps. Why not just sit in that comfy cord chair and enjoy the new view for a bit. ;)
oh val, so sorry !!! i thought we had grown out of our clumsiness after all these years but i guess not!! take care
ReplyDeleteActually, I think I'm growing back into it!

Oy! Ouch, hope the recovery is quick...!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your mishap! But very fortunate indeed about the thumb tendons...
ReplyDeleteYeow! Hope you heal fast - at least cuts are pretty quick!
ReplyDelete*OUCH* Val! Now: You need to heal *quickly* so you're ready to tie some warp on a loom the absolute minute the chaos has calmed down!
ReplyDeleteSending healing prayers your way!
