Yesterday, while on the phone with Mr Smith of Smith and Alexander, I decided to trim my toe nails/talons. I use Klein flush cut side cutters, very sharp and the shrapnel flies a good distance....I cut a tad close, looked and said to myself, that's gonna bleed. I was wrong, it was gusher.
Hobbled to the bathroom to treat it with peroxide and left a blood trail, foot in tub and it looks like someone has been knifed, blood is everywhere. I was thinking tourniquet but didn't have anything to hand, so wrapped it in a wash cloth, hobbled back to recliner, some super glue came to mind,,,couldn't find it, meanwhile i'm bleeding out. Finally got it slowed down and put a glob of neosporin over the wound...cleaned up all the blood best i could, finally found a gigantic bandaid, i didn't know they made them that huge, luckily i found a stash of them.
If toenail bleeding was an olympic sport i'd be a gold medal winner. the real winner will be the local salon that does pedicures, henceforth.
