Hi Dave,

RH>  DD> It's almost better to have a cut like that --- that is, one

RH> I don't even want to try that. I've had stuff get into cuts and know

RH> glove to protect the finger any time I need to do ktichen work, food

Yes, just drawing a blank on the spelling and no spell check in this
program.


 DD> sure that my outfit had them in small size. Turns out I was wrong

 DD> public)

Sorry, I've got to avoid latex. After the wrist surgery last year, I had
a reaction that they said was a probable latex allergy. Since then I've
always asked, if faced with gloves, band aids, etc if latex is involved
and requested an alternative if the answer was positive.

RH>  DD> OTOH, stitches can make typing and other manual activities a
RH>  DD> lot of fun to do.

RH> The cut is about half an inch down on the pad so I can use the tip
RH> for typing, etc. I'm also left handed and cut the right finger--some
RH> activities are a bit limited but it's not too restrictive. I was
RH> told to not wear anything over that area to let air help in healing
RH> but did put a band aid on yesterday when I went to my QoV group
RH> meeting. Stitches should come out on Friday.

 DD> I wish my stitches (staples) were coming out that soon.  Bv(=

They're out, I'm still using a glove when doing anything in the kitchen
that has the potential for getting bacteria into the cut. Just a
precaution as it's still in the process of healing. Better to be safe
than wind up with a nasty infection.

looks good but I'd want to experiment a bit using part stevia, part
sugar. Found that straight stevia (for baking) makes things too sweet so
I want to try varying amounts of stevia & sugar.
