He was getting rid of what was a huge estevas plant that I cut down over a year ago, and we left it, as the stems would rot and make it easier to pull out of the ground/break off.
Dozy berk only cut his hand open
He's always telling me to wear gloves, as we have scorpians and other nasties in the garden - so there he was, bare-handed
A lot of blood - mostly on the kitchen floor and sink, but it's a nasty cut between his thumb and forefinger - on his right hand
He wouldn't and won't let me take him to urgencia in Castro Verde, so I've padded it as best I can and he had a couple of brandies to numb the pain 
Been down to the bar, got a lot of sympathy, but I'm having to help him with changing clothes, putting shoes on. Should be fun and games for the next few days. At least with tonights dinner, he can just use his left hand. Tomorrow, we had planned a lovely steak meal, so I'll have to cut his steak up for him
He can go to the bathroom on his own though
Sounds like you could do with getting some steri strips in, and keeping for emergencies! They work well in place of stitches, for smallish wounds xxxx
