Well, hello Friday! Managed to slice my thumb open on my pill cutter this morning.....bathroom sink looked like Dracula's! Now nursing very sore thumb with large plaster on it.

Just make sure that the pharmacy has made a note of your injury so that they can refer to it when you consult them next week as these things don't get passed on sometimes.

I find home made plasters, lint and elastic fabric strapping, are better than plasters out of a box etc as you can make them to fit better. I hope by now that you have stopped bleeding and are feeling better.

You would think that they would make your tablets in 7.5mg strength though, it sounds like others would have similar problems. Maybe the pill cutter manufacturer needs to be told about it too, sounds dangerous. smile

Have managed to get to this point with no further injuries. The giant thumb is still 'stooning'......(good Scots word for throbbing!)
