The minor injuries thread....

Bastid bramble attack while gardening

Looks like that needs a stiff G&T....

 

[Fab Foodie]

Grating a very small carrot to put in my lunchtime salad I was a bit too enthusiastic and a bit of the end of my thumb is now in the salad. The only carrot I had left and no more till sometime next week perhaps if I am very lucky and persistent.

High protein food is on-trend....

My cramped up left calf was ok after i went for a 5 mile walk,followed by a 15 mile bike ride. I set off in a bit of pain,but as usually the case when you exercise a slight strain,you suddenly realise the pain/problem's gone.

I appeared to have acquired a scratch just below my bottom lip overnight.

I think one of the cats must've walked on my face while I was asleep...

Is that what they call finger food?

...a place for paper-cuts, kitchen utensil related injuries, plasma planing and hurt not severe enough for its own thread.

As it happens I’ve just had an unpleasant encounter with my food processor blade while drying-up..

Did you have to lie down?

No but I had to swear quite a bit!

Felt my back "go" whilst straining to lift & reposition the kid's trampoline yesterday.
OMG it was heavier than I remember.

Next time I'll undo the ground anchors

Brambles.

Bastards.

As paper cuts were mentioned in the OP in regards to being minor injuries I have two to report. One from some 5 years ago which required 10 weeks off work with my hand and wrist splinted and physio following reconstructive surgery at the Victoria hospital in East Grinstead to reconnect a severed tendon in my favoured hand. I then learned that certain personal hygiene practices are not easy with the wrong hand.

Today's paper cut was discovered after using alcohol hand gel at work as we are using shared equipment. By the end of the day I had got used to the stinging.

It's one of the reasons I don't like sharp knives. We've got a newish set and they are lethal when I'm around. Sliced my fingers many times.

This was the blunt one!
