Glue
Last night my dad was making dinner for us. He went to open a can, the can slipped and sliced his left pinkie finger. I was sitting on the computer near the kitchen. My dad walked over to me and said " I just cut myself, could you get me a band aid?" I asked him if I could see his the cut. He uncovered his finger, exposing the cut. I saw the bone of his knuckle and the tendon that wraps around. At first I saw no blood. Then my dad bent his finger and blood gushed out. I told him that he had to go to the hospital. I ran and got my mom who was up stairs finishing the laundry. We both ran down stairs to my dad. My mom examined the wound and told him he had to go to the hospital. My dad said he didn't think that the cut was to bad he wanted to put a band aid on and call it good. My mom told him that it was too deep to just put on a band aid. If we could see bone then we had to go. My mom and dad went to the hospital. My brother and I stayed at home with my little sister. She was really worried about dad and it made her more upset that she had to stay home. Two hours later we get a call from mom telling us that dad got a Tetnus shot and they were just now closing the cut. I was putting Aliah to bed when we heard the garage door open. Both of us jumped up and dashed for the door. My dad's finger was in a sling to keep him from moving it. He ended up not getting stitches because he is going on a business trip and he wont be able to get the stitches removed. So instead the doctor glued my dad's cut together. It looked so painful but my dad said it didn't hurt too bad.
