Did you purposely choose butterscotch FINGERS...Joe! Did you purposely choose butterscotch FINGERS to make when you were discussing your injury??? LOL<BR/><BR/>Here's a tip for you. I am nursing two nicked fingers right now (bumped against a knife in the dishwater), and have sustained more finger injuries than I can count (broken tumblers, mandoline, knife, burns). What I do is bind my wound with a regular bandaid (sometimes I use waterproof, but not always). Then, I put on a latex glove (use vinyl if you're allergic) over the injured hand. Then, I can cook and wash and clean as much as I need to without getting my injury wet. When I do dishes, I put a yellow Playtex-style glove right over the close-fitting surgical-style glove, and that protects me up my forearm as I wash. But that surgical glove means I can wash my hands (ok, my glove) as much as I need to while cooking, yet still keep my wound dressing dry. <BR/><BR/>Tell the truth, I even put a glove on to wash my hair in the shower.<BR/><BR/>Keeping the wound dry seems to speed healing. And putting on the glove means I don't have to think as hard about what I'm doing, nor rethink my technique as I work.<BR/><BR/>Get well soon!<BR/><BR/>kkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08684381357972066726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14099844.post-36048069251373569932008-03-23T17:14:00.000-04:002008-03-23T17:14:00.000-04:00Yikes -- sorry for the injury, Joe.

I was a hand model in high school for a jewelry store for print ads around the state of Florida, but don't feel bad your "dream is ruined" because the money's not that great, anyway. LOL.
