So clumsy this morning...it was not yet more than half an hour since I woke up when I accidentally cut the base of my index finger with a pair of scissors. Reason being I was cutting stuff without my spectacles on. That seriously woke me up! I was trying to assess the damage done...a deep cut through the skin layer (I had no idea skin on the base of finger can be that thick). Just when I thought there was no blood, blood started oozing out. Geez...
So I had to complete all my household chores with a plaster on. Quite uncomfortable... Told my parents about the unfortunate incident and my mum was asking why the hell am I cutting stuff up without my spectacles when I am technically blind? I could not think of a reason to rebutt...Double geez...
When I took off the plaster at night, I found something familiar! It is a piece of NA dressing on top of the bandage layer! A few days ago when I was changing the dressing for a patient's amputated toe, I was asking my mentor what is the purpose of putting on the NA dressing. And she said it was non-adhesive, so dressing would not stick to the wound and create a sticky mess. Guess plasters work the same way!
