Eventful day!!

So I had a rather eventful afternoon today. After I returned from work at lunch time I went round to my mum's to pick up some bits she had for me, in particular some stilton, a white onion and some potatoes. See she had bought a large piece of stilton and gave me half to make stilton and broccoli soup. Now I dont like white onion so we didn't have any in the house (or potatoes) hence their inclusion.
When I got back home I started some orzo for my lunch then decided to start the soup as well. I managed to peel and chop the potatoes then moved on to the onion.

This was too be my undoing ... instead of toping and tailing it I decided to use the cleaver and just chop it straight down the middle. Unfortunately the onion slipped and I ended up trying to chop of the end of my finger :s

I immediately spun round dropping the cleaver on the floor and putting my finger to my mouth to staunch the bleeding. The fiance was in the bathroom shaving so I had to run through and get him ... he looked rather confused as I tried to explain what had happened by pointing about the kitchen and at my finger. He offered to get me a plaster, which are kept in the hall cupboard, so I followed and got some tissue to apply pressure with and slow the bleeding before adding the plaster. Unfortunately my body decided at this point to send me into shock :s bring on dizziness, cold sweat and a large desire to hurl. Resulting in my lying on my bedroom floor hand in the air and feet up on the bed. Not at all fun and definitely not what I had planned for this afternoon. Fiancé had to ring my mum to come round in case I passed out or had to go along to the doctors as he cannot drive just yet. So now I am all dressed up, the feeling has returned to the tip of my finger and the thumping has stopped.

I have a feeling this may provide me with an interesting scar. I managed to get the middle finger on my right hand trapped in the car door of an Audi 80 when I was about 10 and proceeded to go into shock and be taken to A&E. Here I sat with mum for ages while the time went up 3 hours at which point we went home and saw a friend, a nurse, who put steri strips across and wrapped me up. This has left me with a white scar on the inside of my middle finger just above the first joint.
