The Best Distraction

I had just found out late last night that a cousin of mine was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer so was feeling a little bummed out.

Then, almost as if by magic, I got a call from my lovely niece and her boyfriend.  She was preparing veggies and a knife went into her finger.   Remember the incident that happened several years ago with our tenant when he did the exact same thing? 

I did a quick little traige and deemed her safe to stay home and just with instructions on keeping it clean, covering it up and watching for symptoms of infection - all was well and good.

My husband wanted to see a photo, so what did she do?

Can you tell they are theatre majors?

I can't begin to tell you how much this made me laugh.

It was a very welcome distraction.

It's so sweet when they ask my advice when injured.

She was using a mandoline, right? I had the same injury last week. :/ Lots of fun trying to dress it with my non-dominant hand!

Ames: you are welcome! lol

KT: I don't know! I only heard over the phone and didn't ask about the weapon! :) Yes, when one hand is out of commission it's difficult to do the dressing. I suspect Amy had help! ;)
