Ow! I didn't mean to do that!

I was wiping down the carpet beside the skirting boards yesterday to get to the bits the hoover just CAN'T reach, and a stray sewing needle made it's presence known in the most painful way possible - by sticking itself in my finger.

I felt the needle break, felt the pain, and had a look to see if I could pull said needle out. I didn't pull it out, what I did do was watch the end of it disappear into my finger fully as the skin quickly swelled around it.

A quick trip to our local wee hospital (The WHitworth - gord bless em) and an x ray, showed that the needle had not only penetrated my flesh, but gone into the bone and into the joint.

So, duly sent to The Royal in Chesterfield I am now on the emergency list this morning to have it operated on .. with a general anasthetic!

How can something SO SMALL, cause so much havoc!?

You poor thing!! I cannot believe how those things can happen!!

I'm assuming you have your laptop? or do you have to go back there later?

How are they going to remove it? do you know?

I hope they have an easy time getting it and your hand heals very quickly!

:hug:

[align=left]I sew a lot and have put the machine needle right through my finger a few times (OK, not the smartest thing I've ever done...!) and had to rip the stitches out of my finger, I know how fast it can swell up! Take care.... [/align]

I just jumped out of my skin thinking about this happening to me. I LOVE to sew stuff for my rats. I wouldn't doubt there is a needle laying around this house somewhere.



OUCHHHH!

All done and dusted ! Thank You for all your replies and thoughts. Bizarrely it went into my finger blunt, or eye, end first. :shock:
