Stabbed in the Butt! 🍑🔪

[@guterversuch6337]

I was shown a video of you from 10 years and it really is a flash from the past :D

You know, I find it kind of reassuring that there are other people just as clumsy as myself. But I'll tell you what, it sounds to me like you've got yourself a great bloke in Eric. And that's worth it's weight in gold! Hope you can be more comfortably seated by now. 'Bye now! xxx

I’ve never been so grateful to be able to sit anywhere I want again! 😂

@@iIMAGINEblank Yeah well, I guess at times like that it's the little things you appreciate!

Hell, I am a retired skilled tradesman and I stabbed my own self in the right thigh/butt cheek with a 8" long, very sharp, "sabre" type of folding knife. I was doing my due diligence (by multitasking) and both cutting fruit AND breaking in a very stiff, oiled-but-barely used razor sharp knife by "popping" it open with the well-designed lever nub and the well-balanced blade. The problem is that in my deep involving fruit cutting job - I'd inadvertently overlooked that I'd JUST popped it open already - so that the next, forceful thigh-swipe was not with the lever nub - but with the very sharp tip of the 8" long blade. The swipe was forceful enough (it's a tight new knife after all) - and the blade was sharp enough for the tip of the blade to stab me in the thigh/butt cheek about an inch and a half into my rear upper thigh/buttocks area. I was leaking blood like you'd punch a hole in a gallon of milk....it was everywhere and was in no way trying to slow down or stop. Of course being the retired tradesman that I am - I took some alcohol and peroxide and flushed out the deep wound, then took a clean shop paper towel, folded it up like a thick pad, put a very healthy glob of 3 in 1 antiseptic gel, and taped that sucker tight with both duct tape AND some clear plastic adhesive medical patches. I told my doctor at the VA about stabbing myself and he said if it's still bleeding after ~3 days, that he'd have to probably make me go to the emergency room, LOL. Nope, I taped that sucker "waterproof tight" with enough pressure to close the rather deep wound without stitches. It took about a week to fully close - though it was still weeping for at least a week to ten days. I guess I still remember at least something of first aid in the field of combat from both my Marine Corps service and the plenty of first aid videos I've watched, LOL.....

So what was Flynn doing during this?

[@iIMAGINEblank]

Well I definitely screamed bloody murder so he went running. Then he wanted to help (aka inspect) because he is a good boy. Then he hid while the EMTs were here. And had to spend several hours home alone until Eric finally brought me home at like 9pm. I will say the tape DOES work because he has not/did not scratch the couch. 🥲
