Old Post that was never posted - thought I would share anyway.

My trip to the ER - June 2009.

I love to sew. In our spare bedroom I have set up a little sewing area. It was about 8:30 at night and I was almost done with my latest project. I was very tired, but determined to finish my project (more on that later).

I was working on a lining that does not have to be perfect so I had the sewing machine going pretty fast. The next thing I knew the needle was through my finger. I was a bit shocked. I went out into the living room to show DH.

We considered pulling it out ourselves and probably would have, but the needled broke in my finger so it was at a 90 degree angle with the corner in my finger. The head of the needle was still threaded.

So off to the ER I went living DH at home to put Little Man to sleep. They numbed me up, pulled both pieces of the needle out and gave me a tetanus shot.

The next day, where the needle was was a bit sore, but the places where they put the numbing medicine in hurt way worse, not to mention the tetanus shot sight. My arm still hurts. Thank goodness it wasn't worse. I had been telling Little Man all day to keep his fingers away from the sewing machine. Maybe I should have heeded my own advice.
