042909_2137I was washing dishes when a glass bottle broke (more like spontaneously combusted) and cut my arm so deeply it exposed the bone and tendon: NASTY. I hate the sight of my own blood, but that’s trivial compared to the sight of my own blood flowing over the bone in my arm.

The good news is I didn’t have to go back to Harlem Hospital (as in the case of the Pot Hole Smack Down of ’08). Instead I went to Mt. Sinai, which I highly recommend. I would, however, discourage anyone from raking broken glass down the arm.

    Wow, Sabrina. I had the same thing happen once with my right wrist. only I cut it on an old fashioned film splicer and not a bottle. nevertheless, you are now a sister in the club of THOSE WHO HAVE SEEN THEIR BONES AND TENDONS. Bravo. i was hospitalized 17 times before the age of 25. When In Brooklyn I did similar stupididy to my leg i figured my experience paid off and I stayed home and sewed my leg up with Banjo String. The little one. Fastened and clipped them on with two pairs of pliers! Thought I should share. Its actually amzing how perfect everything underneathe seems to be layed-out. Nature is an artist… and I sound like a serial killer. Fear not. I’m too clumsy to be a successful serial killer.

    Christ almighty!! I thought I was the queen of slice and dice. You got me beat. I sliced upon the top of my hand and pinky knuckle on a broken glass once. Good job, Beavis! That’s gonna leave one hell of a mark!

    Take CARE of yourself!!!

    That cut looks kinda like a vagina. That would be great if women had vaginas on their arms!!!

    Ahh! Shouldn’t there be a parental warning on this one? I’m amazed at how calm, and conscience, you look in the photo. You’re hard core.
