While I was there, I was told the spreading infection in my hand caused the stitch to pop. Since I didn't even know I had an infection, it was actually a stroke of luck that the stitch did come out. The center of the palm of my hand has turned very dark purple, almost black, and the mound on flesh next to my thumb has turned bright red. And the damn thing hurts worse.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/20/3365302.html Response to a comment about the blender....- November 19, 2007 In response to a question about how I could have cut myself on the blender blades, here are some pictures of the blender in question. (I took some painkillers, so forgive me if I wander a bit.) The blender comes in three parts, the base, the blades, and the container. Unlike a traditional blender, there is no way to put anything in the blender if it is screwed together (there is also no way to use a spatula to get stuff stuck to the sides loose). The parts screw together, and...http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/18/3362739.html Blenderizing my hand....- November 18, 2007 This will be a very short entry. Last night my new blender malfunctioned and sliced open my hand. It started up without the power button being pushed. Then there was blood everywhere (which the dogs lapped up very happily---little carnivores that they are). It didn't really hurt at first, but I panicked from the blood spurts coming from my left hand. Then I called Ronald to come get me, and called Christine to calm me down. She did a good job, and calmed me...http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/18/3362268.html Orange helping with the laundry....- November 17, 2007 Orange is helping me with the laundry in his own particular way. I guess he is pressing the sheets for me....http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/17/3359412.html Puppies eating 111707- November 17, 2007 A New Photo has been added to OurDogs.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/17/3359401.html Puppies eating 111117- November 17, 2007 A New Photo has been added to OurDogs.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/17/3359393.html Puppies eating 111117- November 17, 2007 A New Photo has been added to OurDogs.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/17/3359384.html Diamond Girl 111707- November 17, 2007 A New Photo has been added to OurDogs.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/17/3359374.html Puppies day 8- November 1, 2007 A New Photo has been added to OurDogs.http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/1/3326861.html Horse pole barn- November 1, 2007 Ronald finished the deep (rather than long) horse pole barn, 24'x16', about 10' tall at the short end and 12' at the tall end. (It is tall enough to park the sailboats in, with their masts down, while they are still on their trailers.) All except the primary poles were purchased used (and there is still a great deal of the external metal siding remaining). I am not sure how much this would have cost us to build otherwise, but I figured this cost less than $250. And...http://www.kschlenker.com/blog/_archives/2007/11/1/3326743.html |
