At least you weren't wasting your time doing something ergonomic, cutting a lime is a perfect and well phrased alibi.

Now about this guy...

paper shredder accident

umm WTF!!!!!!!! I dunno whats worse...getting your fingers stuck or having to back it up

 

[Tikkakoski]

Heh, that all depends...

I worked in a hand center once upon a time and occasionally EMS brings the machine in with the patient (their hand or what's left of it presumably inside) Best one I ever had was a girl who shoved her hand through a laptop screen.

Those sutures look good though. If you go into a clinic to get the stitches taken out make sure and keep the scissors they use. They come in handy!

Thank you for not calling an ambulance

I wrapped it tigh in my shirt and drove to the emergency room in CC.

It's crazy but a lot of people would call 911 for something like this. Good job.

Wow! Glad you were able to get to the hospital to get that fixed up.

(I really, really dislike OLM-Medic's avatar!!!)

So, do you need a ride to the meetup next Friday?

I couldn't agree more...! Very disturbing.

Stop it! Lol, he just looks like the kinda guy that hangs around peep shops with a trench coat waiting in a dark corner looking for someone to molest.

Gawd, that guy is creepy. How he ever got elected is beyond reason.

It happens. Consider it a future conversation starter. A few weeks ago, a screwdriver I was using for leverage slipped and went straight into my right hand between my thumb and index finger. Hole about half an inch long down to the bone. Hit a major blood vessel. By the time I made it to the kitchen sink about 20 feet away, my cupped hands were overflowing. When I called for my wife, she thought I spilled paint until she realized I was cut. Red everywhere. She almost passed out.

Yikes - hope you heal well....

I've had my share of accidents as have my kids. FWIW, a maxi pad makes a good compress for those really bad cuts. My 3rd oldest pulled a floor cabinet over when she was in second grade and gashed her head, just behind the ear - I've never seen a cut so small, bleed so much. A maxi pad held on with a TIGHT ace bandage made for quite a sight (think revolutionary war drummer) but it stopped the bleeding

My 17 yr old put her hand thru a window pane back in June one day she was home by herself; 9 stitches. They asked her the "Do you feel safe at home?" question over and over ... she couldn't answer 'cause she didn't understand the question ... finally she said "Of course I didn't feel safe staying home by myself, I was bleeding"

The orthopedic surgeon we went to for her follow up suggested aloe vera gel for scar reduction, but I found something that works much better: silicone grease. You can get scar reduction labeled sil grease for about $30/oz ... or food grade (which is stickier) at $8 for 3oz. It worked really well.

Hope you have a full & speedy recovery

I think that warrants a NWS hyperlink...that's pretty worrisome as it makes me think of the 'body art' which to me is essentially self-mutilation...

 

[I do not know]

Scar buddies, I've got a mark in that exact spot, though it came from a fence and not a knife. Hope there are no permanent issues from this incident.

 

[CZ Fanboy]

Yeah, I've always been careful with knives. Another thing to add to my list to reassure it!

Take it easy and let it heal!!!

Good luck with your hand. I am very sorry to see you got hurt. Union Memorial Hospital is world renowned for their hand and finger surgery. If anyone cuts off a digit, head there to get it reattached. If you have any problems, head there for an evaluation.

I had to get stitches six months ago for being careless cutting string. It's something we all do sooner or later.

Get well soon my friend!
