Re: freakin ouch!!!!

Thanks Bob... I'm going to keep this sucker clean.

It was really the most unglamorous thing. I was trying to fix the womens oven (the REAL oven, nothing dirty here!!) and I took the back panel off. It was a 3ftx3ft piece of heavy sheet metal. Wouldn't ya know it, after 20 yrs of grease and crap on it, it was about the slipperiest thing in the world, it just left my hand. Nicked me a little of the forefinger, but got me good on the other.
The doc called it an arterial (sp?) laceration. I did it at 330 yesterday and by about 7 I still couldn't get it to stop bleeding, aside from taping it up so tight turning my finger purple. It was shooting out like a little squirt gun. I hate to go the hospital and kinda felt like a weenie for going, but the nurse and the doc said it was good that i came in because even if i got the finger to stop, I would have done something in the middle of the night to open it back up and would have bled alot. Who knew that you had veins in your finger? I didn't.

Either way... No 4 letter words here... the only thing I said was NAPKINS.... NOW!!!! You guys should have seen the kitchen.... right out of a horror flick, blood everywhere.

Like your quote says:

"just because you found it that way... doesn't mean it's supposed to be that way"

Thats just wrong.....lol!

I have been known to clean it with Go-Jo and get out the electrical tape..
Two days later my finger turned a very strange color and ended up at the doctors anyway..:rolleyes:

hehe... i wish :) Thats why I waited so long to go to the ER. Funny thing I learned about arterial lacerations... every time your heart beats you get a shot of blood out.

One thing that was cool about it all. I went to Nashoba Valley Medical
Center, which is fairly close to the Ft Devins army base. They had 1/2 dozen soldiers in there that were all veterens that were cross training and learning civillian hospital procedures. I talked with this one guy for 1/2 an hour. He was on his 2nd tour and was a combat medic for the last year and a half. He was about my age and about the most down to earth dude you'd ever meet. It was kinda different when you see just as many folks in fatigues as you do nurses.

Ayuh,... Personally,... I prefer Axle Grease,... It's much more sterile than Dirt...

Stitches,..?? Stitches,..??
That's why I carry Super-Glue in my 1st-aid kit....
Push the skins flaps back together,...
Run a bead down the cut,... The bleeding stops,+ the healing begins....
When the Glue falls off,... It's All Better....
Learned that Trick back in the 80s from a Nurse,... Been using it ever since...

Good Luckk JJ,...;):D:D

Sterile??? I thought the the only thing sterile about you bond-o was... oh well, nevermind! ;)

Yep, super glue works wonders!

Do you all know that there is such a thing as "bone glue"? Medical science is wonderful.

Jason, I'll guess that you played football, and I am glad you got the joke about rubbing dirt on it and taking a lap.

Re: freakin ouch!!!!

I put some vitamin B on it last night :D

Hey Man, "Ouch!" I feel your pain, you gotta stop beating yourself up :D Hey, I think you meant Vitamin E, that's the healing vitamin, open up the caplets, and spread the liquid on the wound, it should help it heal faster.
