NON-FOOD Stupid Monica Trick

Last week while out with Candy & Carla, Carla brought me home and we stopped by a Bed, Bath & Beyond. I have wanted a slicing handheld mandolin, but didn't want to spend alot of $$$ on it. Found one for $14 and got it.
So I decided to try it out making salad. I NOW KNOW WHY you use the safety guard...in one pass I got a large flap cut on the knuckle of my right big finger. The cut is on the outter side of the finger. I manage to open it up 6 to 8 times a day. Doesn't hurt, just bleeds a lot. Going through lots of bandages, can't do dishes, difficult shuffling cards, oh well.
Learned another lesson from a Stupid Monica Trick moment. Hugs all, don't send cards, flowers, or gems, had to share. Monica

 lakewoodRanch is open 24/7 but remember I am only there from 3 to 11pm and I ll take good care of that wound. Ill even do my nursing trick on you!!!!!! Carla

Carla kisses and Jewish Chix soup appreciated. Wish the weather was better, we need to plan a day for you and Carl to come and play by the pool & hot tub. Hugs Monica

OUCHIES!!!!!!!! That is why I stopped using those graters from waaaay back when!!! I call them the knuckle busters...lol

Monica,

I've been there done that and unfortunately those slices on our fingers take time, try using the breatheable bandaids while awake, you may have to change them a few times a day, but it will help and then at night let the air at it for healing. . .

OUCH!!!!  The first time I used mine, I took most of a fingernail off.  Sorry about your ouchie.  Hope it starts to heal soon.

Candy

Thus the lesson from the mandolin . . . I did the very same thing the first time I used mine, but it was on the outside of my little finger.  Heal quickly!
