Disaster Exacto Knife + Thumb = OUCH

2 days after the cut.

it sucks and hurts a lot and is kepping me from doing things

 

Ouch, that's got to hurt!.

*keeps me from doing things", ah what kind of things? , lol j/k

 

ouch.......that gotto hurt.......I feel sympathy for ya man.....

 

With a fresh blade, an X-Acto knife is as sharp as a surgeon's scalpel, and can
make an incision finer than a paper cut.

As you've found out.

 

yup. i learned that the hardway

heres a tip, polysporin REALLY REALLY works.

 

Ecch... I've done that a few too many times myself It's always a trip with a new blade, because you don't really feel it cut. You just start spewing blood cells everywhere. The best part is going over it in your mind over and over till you go into shock and hurl

 

update: I stitched it closed using a sewing needle and black thread.





now i need to add some lights, a few fans, and a window mod and im done

 

those stitches look quite nasty. way to be!

 

Polysporin? whassat?

 

ok, so guys in the uk maynot have something called that oops

basically it's a medicated cream that helps with the healing and prevents infection of wounds.

i guess that what you get from a canuck on the forum, confusing names for things.

 

UK equivalent= Germolene or similar

 

jeez! very marilyn manson- esque

 

Welcome to the knackered digit club mate

Many moons ago I managed to slice the nail root on my thumb so the nail now grows with little ridges along it

You can see a little V thats missing from it now.



btw the UK name for Polysporin is Polyfax - it is usually used in the UK for eye infections or bacterial skin infections. It is usually prescribed by a doctor

 

im really impressed with thoose stiches

i've also done some stupid things with knifes. like cut up the whole "pointing finger" (don't know the english name). It hurt very much

 

wowowo nice work with the stiches. do you guys have neosporin in the UK. that stuff is great here in the US. is comesin cream and oinment form. it even numbs stuff!! anyhow thats what i always use on my cuts and stuff.

 

when you cut yourself with an exacto knife, it burns like like. Like maybe when you pee after having sex with a dirty hooker. Stiching up is a bad idea, sounds like someone without medical insurance and possibley someone who need to go see a phycologist.

 

what can i say? well mayby OUCH!

 

You stitched a wound after 2 days?

...

Never taken a EMT or medical class have you?

 

Hey, Shrapnill, have you ever posted something on a forum that is not in some way insultive?

 

I have one that can top that. I nailed the fleshy part between my thumb and first finger with a small drill bit. I was drilling and it slipped...long story short, It really hurt.

But I didn't think of stitching it myself. cool man, that'll leave some nice scars! Modding scars always make good stories!
