I did the unthinkable last night while cooking Sunday lunch.
While chopping up onions I "chopped" the end of my thumb. Got about 1/2 the nail and went about 1/4 inch deep. Boy, did it hurt! It was bleeding profusely. I told Scott that I knew that I needed to go to the clinic and glue it together. So, I called Dr. B to see if she could make it over to help me - well, she was in B'ham this weekend!
So, Jessica agreed to help me out. After getting there, my thumb was still bleeding. I knew that I couldn't glue the cut while it was bleeding, so I decided that I should head on to the emergency room. Ugh. Pri-med closes at 6pm on Sat/Sun.
Wonderful to say that the hospital in Elmore Co is fantastic! I got to the emergency room and there was no one there! The ended up gluing it (it had finally stopped bleeding at that point). At least I got home by 9pm. Still had to finish up lunch (I had most of it done)...
I promise, I am getting pictures up (not of the thumb!) of all the work we have been doing inside. I had taken a pregnant pause on the house decorating - well, I am back to working again. I plan on tackling Brooks' room on Tuesday. This week I am working on Friday, too, so that limits what I can get done house wise.
Scott's poison ivy is almost cleared up. I am so glad that I am not allergic to that stuff.

I am glad that your thumb was not too bad. Megan got to watch her dad super glue his arm a few weeks ago. He cut it in the shop and had Mike super glue it and put a bandage on it. Megan thought it was cool.
I might try and come by tomorrow after staffing but will call you first. Megan is sending presents for her cousins.
bless your heart! so thankful it wasn't worse than that :) hugs!
Yikes! That just makes me cringe. Hope your thumb gets better soon.
I hope your thumb is doing better! You are a trooper to go through all that, then still come back home to finish cooking. Mothers are tough!
I totally misread some of this post and thought you WERE pregnant! I hope your thumb is better.
