This is what happens to you when building a steel shed....without gloves. This officially crossed Doro's pain threshold and bleeding criteria for at home repair. Thanks go out to Mr. Bone for stopping the cutting action. :)

P.S. No, I was not intoxicated.

    That sucks! Nothing better than Tylanol 3 and a few beers! Seriously, make sure you keep that clean. You think the cut hurts, try to pain of cleaning out an infected cut.

    So I guess you're going to have to get used to using your left hand to farm cornflakes out of your nose now.

    Trim that nail man, ug.

    Thanks for your comments :D

    While I was waiting in the ER, the loser area, an unknown individual came over and said he wanted to take a look. He exclaimed "Is that all?" I looked at him like he was crazy, beings that when I pulled it from the saline bowl, it gushed blood like Ole' Faithful.

    He looked at my look, shrugged, walked away....later to show up as the doctor helping me out. He was Dr. Funny Pants now, and after apologizing for making me wait for 30 minutes with my hand in a bowl, he went to work.

    I am sorry, but there is NOTHING reassuring about the statement: "I'll go ahead and use my smallest needle." He numbed it pretty quickly, tho' I didn't know the needle was going INTO the wound, but after that I didn't really feel a thing.

    Tylenol 3? Are you kidding? They slapped me on the **** and said have a nice day....shite, nothing buy Advil and reg. Tylenol for me man. F'ers.

    I have to say, my first Hospital trip in 25+ years, unknown hospital at that and it could not have been better. They really took care of me, I didn't mind waiting, as I had nowhere to go, and I'm real happy with the stitches.

    I am drafting a nice letter to send to the hospital in thanks for them taking care of my sissy **** finger :)

    That reminds me of a guy I used to work with. He had about 30 stiches in his arm, and after about 4 weeks, decided he wanted them out, so he took them out himself, at work, in front of us.
    Damn rednecks!!!!

    I fell off a ladder on Monday while carring far too many tools. Split my forehead open pretty good. Too busy/stubborn/stupid to go to the doctor though. Hell I got a first aid kit in my van. Stopped the bleeding, slapped on some antibiotic cream, a big-assed band aid, and a hat to keep the pressure on...back to work.

    I don't think I suffered any permanent dain bramage.:)

    DO NOT, EVER, take pain medication and drink at the same time. Most pain medications will totally waste your liver and kidneys if you are drinking alcohol at the same time. Aspirin thins your blood and if you drink at the same time, you can get kidney damage and a whole host of other fun things.

    The prescription drugs...they will do much more wonderfully nasty things to you with alcohol. The only plus side is, they will usually put you into a sleep that you will most likely not wake up from before any really painful damage occurs.

    Bottom line, you screw up your liver and kidneys, it's only a matter of time before you reach toxicity and you own wastes poison you to death.

    So if you wanna drink on pain killers, have fun. It ain't my funeral. It's just gonna be a guy like me who has to come and pick you up off the floor.

    Oh yeah, I came within millimeters of cutting the end of my finger off last October. That sucked 'cause I have a tolerance for the various local anastetics (sp?) and even with a heavy dose of Lidocain, I felt every stich going into the end of my finger. I squeezed the end of the table so hard I broke it. I think that was the worst cut I had. The doctor said I came very close to severing ligaments in my finger. If you think that sucks, I had to have root canal twice when I was a kid. Just imagine what kind of pain that was with ineffective pain killers.

    One thing I found that works well for sealing up a cut is bearing/axle grease. It's loaded with sulfer so it's a fairly good disinfectant and it's so gooey that it'll plug up any hole. Then again, it's pretty toxic so there is a trade-off. At least until you can get the boo-boo cleaned out. I have never done that on anything more than a minor laceration or abrasion.

    The doctor was probably thinking why doesn't this guy just rub axle grease on it or super glue it back together. :D

    i've never gotten a cut to the bone, i have had to get stitches 4 times in my face, though, hehe go ice hockey :p , last summer though i came way to close for comfort to losing my finger to a tablesaw, the wood caught and flew through and it caught the edge of my finger, luckily it just clipped the edge of my nail and gave me a nasty gash, no stitches necessary :D

    Jstas is right. Screw the Tylenol and make it at least six beers instead of just a few.

    i cut it on the re-enforced ring around a 55 gallon barral...the rest of the barrel had rusted away and all that was left was the ring
    riding my bike...front tire kicked it up...got caught around my pedal and my back tire
    i was wearing those aqua shoe things at the time
    i fell down...still trapped...
    ended up cutting the tendon to my big toe
    it took em 2 hours to clean all the rust out of my foot
    they gave me pain killers but they didnt work for ****...i was in a lot of pain...
    still have a nice scar

    Why exactly do you need to keep a stitched wound dry? Further infection as well as the skin being affected by the water?

    When i was 11...I was riding on a fourwheeler behind my best friend's brother. This tree limb just JUMPED in front of my face and said "This is what you get for being too stupid to duck your head!" and WHAM! Before i knew it I was laying on my back looking up at the laughing face of my best friend. No scars, just a funny story.
