The middle finger on my left hand had a little run-in with my super-sharp potato peeler the other day. It resulted in a chunk of my fingertip going a.w.o.l., a little bit of bloodshed, and a brief dizzy spell. (Don’t know why, but I don’t take hand-injuries well.) Since my accident, I’ve been very careful about keeping my would clean and protected. I’ve gone through a few dozen band aids and I’m surprised how quickly I’m healing. In a few more days I’m pretty sure it will be very difficult to tell that I’ve been injured at all. The only hint will be the shiny quality that skin has for awhile after it’s healed. It’ll be interesting if I can walk away with this without a scar. However, I do think that I will now have a greater respect for the potato peeler.
In fact, if I were a villain, the potato peeler would definitely be my weapon of choice.
