So you need a grandpa

I am a grandpa who has been there!

Here are my credentials:

-Food preparation : trice to the ER for the suturing of various fingers caused by use of knives to cut food and opening a package with a pair of scissors which was the most memorable because I ended with a great prime doctor.

-Cutting balsa wood: After cutting a finger, in a sensitive area, using and x-acto knife the finger was wrapped in a Telfa pad and then tapped to an adjacent finger to prevent it from moving, hence quicker healing.

-Drinking fluids: Using a Wide mouth mug; actually two of them and dropping them causing the scattering of porcelain pieces all over the floor. This forced grandpa to buy a 20 ounce sip thermos eventually used to guarantee that at least 64 ounces of water was consumed every day; for medical reasons I might add!

-Assist in making quilts: after a number of pin pricks and minor cuts grandpa learned that hydrogen peroxide dissolves blood on fabric.

Alert: If you are clumsy you may be pleasantly rewarded in unexpected ways.
