You can't tell from this picture but my left hand has been butchered from getting in the way when my right hand is trying to do something.Here are a couple of examples but there are MANY more.
#1 My left hand was holding the fabric when my right hand ran over the end of my thumb with a rotary cutter. Yikes! That hurt! I spent a few hours in the emergency room getting x-rays to make sure it didn't cut into the bone, getting a tetanus shot, begging for pain medicine, and getting it wrapped up. They told me several times to make sure I kept it wrapped for several weeks and that it would not scar to bad. The first time I had to change the bandage, I had a nurse in our ward come over to help me{she offered}. She couldn't believe how yucky it was...me too! It made me a little sick to look at it the first week. And it killed to change the bandage too. Now I just have a left thumb that isn't completely there but no one would really ever notice.
#2 My left had was holding a pan of boiling sugar while my right hand put the cold water in the pan. Can you guess what happened next? Yep, the boiling sugar water splattered all over my left hand. Ouch! So now when I make my grandmother's Christmas candy recipe, I make sure to wear a oven mit. I had a total of 10 blisters on my left hand from that one. Fortunately only 2 of them left scars. By the way, this was only a couple of weeks after I stopped wearing a bandage on my left thumb from #1.

Aw, man! You don't realize how much you use something until it's injured. I hope it heals quickly!

My hands are pretty scarred too. This post made me laugh!
