what?

Are u ok?

Good one!

I've done it too. Cut the side of my right pointer right off...it actually filled back out in time. So weird.

I also ripped open my hand just at the base of my thumb a couple of years ago. Right down to the bone. Ended up getting 6 stitches that time.

The amount of blood that just pores out of your fingers/hands is unbelievable, isn't it?

Yay for mutilation!

and the pic was taken in front of a bloody finger pic on my screen, so it's still not safe if you don't want to see blood.

yay!

when i was preggers with my girl i was working in a factory on a press machine. this machine didn't have the safety on it that should have been there and i ended up almost crushing my finger OFF! the middle finger of my left hand was flattened, broke in two places majorly, with bits and pieces broken crushed off the knuckle. it split open and finger juices squirted out the end. it was gross. and that happened the week after another kid had completely lost the end of his finger!


and it's still flatter than all my other fingers.

Awesome!

OH MY GOD!!! it's starting to hurt really bad. it was feeling better and i thought i was going to get off easy, and now it's burning and the throbbing is intense and for a second i thought i might faint.... how could a little cut hurt this much??

Ouch!

GRRRRR!!


What I *tried* to say earlier was....


Ouchie!

I've gotten cut a few times myself, mainly at work (I work in a kitchen). The last time I had to have stitches.


Speaking of stitches...are you gonna have that thing looked at?

i soooo cn't look at the pics. i am glad you are okay.

Nikster said:

i don't have health insurance, so probably not. i don't really think it's that bad.....except for the fact that the pain just woke me up at 4am.

i don't think it's really that bad, just bloody.

fantasyislander said:

That only happens when the wound is infected. Soon you'll start noticing a strong rotten smell.

Good news is if you have your finger amputated now you might not die after all

PANDURITO said:

i'll go get my knife and just take care of that myself.

fantasyislander said:

Fine. Make it a clean cut and don't forget to burn the stump with a car lighter.
It will stop the blood frow flowing

PANDURITO said:

car lighter! that information would have been greatly appreciated a few minutes ago. do you know how hard it was to keep the match lit under all that blood?

PANDURITO said:

ok, i loosened the bandage a little and the throbbing has subsided slightly. i'm going to try to go back to sleep for a couple more hours.

fantasyislander said:

you don't have a gas stove?

ZombieKitten said:

no, it's electric. i hate electric stoves.

you'll have to create a new avvie. those hands are sans blood.

i'm kind of afraid to take the bandage off, but i really want to see what it looks like.


and it still hurts like hell.

i know no one is reading this anymore, but i'm going to post a pic of "the day after" anyway.


it really doesn't look that bad, but it hurts like the dickens!!!




and i can't believe so much blood was POURING out of a cut so small!

fantasyislander said:

The amazing thing about fingers (much like mouths) is that they heal really, really fast.

I know what you mean i did the same a few weeks ago making a sandwich.....tuna can.... i know i know

It bled for ages and i could not be arsed to wait for the ER so a mate of mine who is a dentist put some stitches in it then we steri stripped it and then superglued it so i could put my bike back together.... the blood was unreal.
Hope it stops hurting

mdiver said:

your friend put stitches in it?


i considered going to the hospital just b/c it seemed it would never stop bleeding. my current lack of insurance stopped that. so i was in the bathroom over the sink holding the paper towel on it and trying not to let on to anelia that anything was wrong.
