Thing is it wasn't a "playing with knives" cut. It was just plain old stupidity and not paying attention. And, of course, it's ended up worse than any of my "playing with knives" cuts.
Linny can't stomach the sight of blood. I had to have her tape the gauze on and she was just about heaving. She was out of town when I cut my foot. Otherwise I would have been cleaning vomit along with blood out of the carpet.
Bleeding seems to have stopped. BTW: tough typing at the moment.
