Cooking

posted by [personal profile] bugshaw at 09:28am on 02/04/2007
From Rick Stein's Fruits of the Sea:
Cooking dishes ... is a bit like ballet dancing. The dancers look as light as feathers, their movements effortless, the pirouetting as if it were just an extension of walking, but then, if you saw them behind the stage afterwards, sweating, their joints aching, you would realize the labour of love that has gone into their performance.

I am still bleeding after cutting myself on a herb chopper on Saturday. It's quite a gouge, and keeps pulling open as it's across a knuckle.

Possibly get a stitch in it before it becomes infected. I had a cut across my knuckle and I had about a month of strange colours and weeping. Not nice.

Silly question - do I go to the doctor, or down to A&E? Can I just tape it closed, and not bend my finger till it's healed?

It woud be a shame to amutate it as it woud cause robems with my touch tying.

I don't know. I just googled to try and find out and the first link I found made me feel a bit queasy. This info is a bit less horrific..

I'd get yourself to your doctor's surgery to have a look at it. It'll probably just need the practise nurse to have a look at it, and she (or he if you have that rare thing, a male one) may just clean it and put a plaster on it.

At least a herb chopper, assuming you were using it for its designed purpose, is less likely to infect than a general food knife.

Last time I needed to see the nurse there was a ten-day wait for appointments ;-)

I'll go, but I might be crap and wait until Tuesday as I'm waiting for a phone call return, a large delivery of chocolate, and am meeting Anne at 3pm. I'll give it one more day of home cleaning and plastering.

Have you an NHS walk in centre closer? I tend to just go there now, although that's mostly because I'm just 10 minutes walk from one.

*looks* There's one in Peterborough, I think that's closest... but I would almost pass my Doctor on the way to the train station, so I think I'll stick with that.

There's one in Ely, but it's a long way from the train station. If it's still bleeding, it needs looking at.

It has largely stopped bleeding, but started again for a bit a couple of times when I did something strenuous with the hand, like pulling shoelaces tight. Now I've noticed, I'm being more careful!
