I just took the top couple layers of skin off my middle finger with the mandolion. Damn that thing is sharp and it won't stop bleeding.

Put some pressure on it girl! Do you have a cold pack? That can help too.

Don't press too hard, that will actually inhibit the clotting. Or so the blood center tells me.

No blood thinners. I've had direct pressure for awhile, it just keeps bleeding. I've got it double bandaided right now and the additional pressure seems help it slow down. I guess that the food holder came with it for a reason.....

Looks like it's stopped bleeding.
Cucumber salad with rice wine vinegar and a couple of drops of sesame oil.

No crab and I had a late lunch after PT so this was all I really wanted.
I've also got some fresh pineapple in the fridge.

Must be something in the air tonight....I just whacked my knuckle on the inside of the washing machine. Serves me right for doing housework. Dang, that hurt. Good thing I keep frozen bottles of water around. But it's hard to type and hold the bottle, even if this is EE. ;D

I hope you've stopped the bleeding by now, just checked the timestamps from earlier. if you are still bleeding - hold your hand over your head. really, anything over your heart will slow the blood flow, but the higher the better.

Whole dinner menu was cheese and crackers, cucumber salad and some fresh pineapple....no ice cream. Like I said, I had a late lunch after physical therapy this afternoon and wasn't very hungry. PT was at 11 this morning and it was nearly 1:30 by the time I got out.
I can't eat and work out and I usually finish up PT with some time on either the bike or elliptical.
