I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.

The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.

I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.

    You are correct. My thumb was bleeding so I reached for the first thing I had. I purchased two boxes of generic bandages through a buy one get one sale years ago. It was a good deal.

    In 2031 when I have used up the bandages, I will check out gauze and medical tape. I think they may be a more thrifty decision with better results.

      You get injured far lighter and less often than I do. Some would call you safer, I say you are just better at making good decisions.
