:rolleyes:

was pruning a small tree with my new Felco secateurs

https://www.lawnmowersdirect.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Felco-No2-Original-Secateurs-LMD-416x411.png

looked at my had and a wasp was on it, went to swipe it away and drew the blade right down the inside of my arm and it opened up like a burst cushion. Luckily i can walk to the hosp so i wrapped a towel around it and went. They put like 14 injections in my arm to numb it and then put in 14 stitches.

So annoyed with myself

dont open if squemish

also i had no idea but the nurse lady said:

Protect your scar from sunlight.

Your scar is very sensitive to strong sunlight and can burn easily, so please try to avoid exposing your scar to the sun. You should use a very strong sunblock (SPF 30 or higher) on your scar for 18 months after the surgery/injury that caused the scar.

It's because it's very American to be like "I got bit." They don't understand tenses. :laugh: "I got" means you're setting up for a past tense.

"Well im going to have to dig them out, it may be a bit sore"
