Don't do this at home ...... (don't look if you're squeamish warning)

Making holes in wood using a folding knife isn't advisable.

 

cant see what is it owen ???

 

I once slice nail and top of thumb off with Stanley knife

I can't see the join. ;D

 

At least you managed to get that PVA glue off your finger

 

Ouch... oh dear.... :S

 

Went to get the dressing off this evening and took the boys along to take pictures. The worst bit was peeling off the gauze a bit at a time, felt horrible. Got some seaweed based dressing on it now that never comes off, so this is the last time (hopefully) that it sees the light of day before it's healed up.

 

That's a big ouch
When I do something like that I stuff the cut-off bit in place and wrap with masking tape until the blood stops seeping through, then look in a week or 10 days and it's always good. The cut bit doesn't join back, but when I've done it to my finger tips, there's always been new skin c/w fingerprints underneath which puffs back up in a day or two. I think hospitals overdo it and feck it up.

 

Now i see id ave done what zed said :-

 

I went to the hospital to make sure the bleeding stopped - it was everywhere. To their credit, they asked me what I was doing and if the knife was clean and just rinsed it and put a pressure dressing on to stop the blood flow.

 

Ohhhh dear.... hope it heals quickly... x

 

Ouch

 

Rub a bit of salt in to clean it > ;D ;D

 

Don't know what possessed me to look at this thread - you did warn us ... :- but i hope it gets better soon

 

Oooo - just looked again, I bet that stung a bit. Looks like Chille-con-carne balanced on your fingertip...

 

Crickey thats bad innit hope its gets better soon
