Ouch! 2

Having written about my little fall a few days ago I now have another little accident to write about. The other day as Helen was cleaning the old sealant from the windows with a knife she slipped and managed to cut halfway through her index finger. So as I didn't think the bleeding was going to stop with out any help we got into the car top go off to the hospital, As we were about to leave one of the old ladies who lives further up the road was coming up and having seen Helen's finger suggested that we should go to the emergency department in Los Sauces which was a lot closer than the main hospital. So in the car we drove off and arriving at the health center rang the bell and with in 30 Seconds we were in the hospital and Helen was being dealt with. Luckily there wasn't much damage and once the cut was stuck together with steri strips and dosed with iodine we were able to go with instructions to return tomorrow morning. When we did return the following morning I was amazed to see the same staff. They examined Helen's finger and redressed it. Helen has now completed re glazing the window, having stripped it completely and re coated the wood with a waterproofing coating
