I swear I may be super accident prone, but Hubby blows me out of the water. He’s all the time doing something. Lately when he comes home with a big bandage wrapped around his hand I don’t say “Oh my god baby what happened?” Instead now I normally give him the “What did you do this time?”
He just has terrible luck with his hands. There was the time he ended up with a nail through the center of his hand when he was a teenager. He’s got all kinds of scars from slicing his hands with knives and box cutters, and just recently a staple gun slipped and shot a staple straight through his finger. Luckily there was no damage. It went straight through without hitting anything.
So today I was laying in bed watching our new 42″ tv that I’m in love with while Hubby was cooking dinner, and Hubby came running through to the bathroom with blood on his finger. I wasn’t surprised at all. I did leave the man in the kitchen with knives. What surprised me is he jabbed his hand with a butter knife…right in the center. I think I’m just going to have to hide all the knives in the house no matter how dull they are.

Congrats on the TV.. Last week I was trimming some chicken and dropped the serrated edge into the top of my thumb. I was wondering why the chicken was bleeding all of a sudden… =0
I think his biggest problem is that he has no feeling in his right thumb and first 2 fingers. His nerves were damaged from a dog bite, but he does all the damage to his left hand while he's cutting with his right. I wonder if maybe he can't feel how much pressure he's putting on the knife. I could understand if he were cutting with the left and running the knife into the right. He'd probably never feel the cut.
I've been there with the bleeding food, only it's always veggies for me. Ugh I have this weird thing about touching raw chicken. I just can't do it w/o gloves on, so I always make Hubby do it.
