Attack of the mandolin

Tobi is in pain and cannot type tonight, the reason is that she got up this morning and decided to make a nice breakfast. She was slicing a potato with a mandolin to make home fries and it attacked her and took a large piece of her finger off of her right thumb.

Tobi and I tried to stop the bleeding for over an hour and could not get it to stop so I wrapped it in tissues, paper towels and sealed it in tape and we went to the hospital.

At the hospital they saw that there was no skin to stitch so they used a coagulating agent on it and they even had trouble stopping the bleeding. Finally, they stopped the bleeding and gave her a tetanus shot and I brought her home.

She is very tired and her finger is still throbbing so hopefully she will be back tomorrow night.
