Super Glue

I think I'm the victim of a super glue accident.  Probably sometime in June, my running watch face just came unglued at the pool.  I thought I was screwed because I really like my Nike triax as it keeps 50 splits and if I wanted has speed with a foot pod.  I haven't used the pacing part of the watch for a long time because it's too disappointing.

So I borrowed some super glue from Amber and proceeded to fix my watch and yes I took it off my wrist just in case.  I got the watch face glued back on but I spilled some on my fingertip.  I really didn't think any big deal as it seems every time I used super glue I get some on my fingers.  I have to wrench them apart because that stuff really does work.  I've been noticing for the past couple of weeks that my finger tip feels weird.  It's like it has a coating of something on it but it won't wash off or rub off.  It's my middle finger and it makes it weird to type.

I would think that my epidermis would shed enough cells that it'd be gone by now but no such luck.  I guess it could be from a burn but I can't remember burning my finger.  My fingerprint on that finger is forever changed though.  You ever wonder why we have fingerprints?  I mean most of our skin in other places doesn't have these grooves, why do our fingers and hands?  You would think suction cups would be more beneficial in our every lives than just simple skin grooves.  Something to ponder...or look up on wikipedia.

And yet again I couldn't get my butt out of bed early today..ugh!

  1. That’s very unfortunate. But here is a tip if in case it happens again: soak the affected area in a bowl of warm soapy water for 15 minutes. The Super Glue will eventually breaks away from the skin until you can peel it off.
