Just make sure to bite the broom handle sideways, otherwise it’ll have to go into the homosexual undertones thread.
Haha. He already had a few rounds of peroxide on it in addition to cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. My brother cleaned and bandaged it up. It looks worse in the above picture than in real life.
rubbing alcohol? fuck.
ass… lol
Yep
I went to town with rubbing alcohol pads after it happened at work, squeezed them to drip it in, not actually dabbing, that hurt a bit.
Second cleaning and dressing went well, probably sore for a bit.
Id get some duct tape and tape that sucker up real nice.
Hope you reported that at work.
workers comp! hello haha
am I the only one who dosent mind rubbing alcohol in open wounds. The urgent stinging and burning lets me know I’m not dead yett. Its actually a rush hahaha
You’ll be fine, I had a slice like that on the top of my big toe from dropping something on it. kept it clean and wrapped it up.
I was showing my dad at the hospitol ( he was in for phnemonia?) and the nurse walked in and said “you should get stiches” I said “you should pay for them” and laughed.
If this was at work, then I would for sure be going to the ER or Urgent Care and also making a report with my employer. Looks minor compared to other accidents, but you never know, and it is good to have yourself covered.
my step dad did this with a sawzawll on xmas he still hasn’t gone to the er. Ran it under cold water for ~10 mins and wrapped it up pretty good. I havent seen it in a while, but he still refuses to go
Progress pictures!!!
Used 2 butterfly bandages crisscrossed to keep things locked up during the “soft” phase, this picture is with 1 removed. Dried blood is surprisingly resistant to alcohol, but water loosens it up pretty good, on skin anyway.
This was taken a short while ago, only future complication I see is how the nail will grow…one will I suppose shed and allow the other to over take the “trench”, hopefully nearly covering up my mistake forever…however I don’t think the body quite works that way. Area is easier to keep clean now that its somewhat sealed and I can be a little more “rough” to get the bandage/med tape adhesive off.
Also as soon as it wasn’t bleeding crazy from slight bumps, I made more “open air” designs with some Neosporin on it, that seemed to help the process. I did that for the overnights as work is a bit to dirty and rough on the hands to let it see to much day light.
Worst thing is anytime I would stub it or brush it against something it would hurt pretty bad, almost thought about punching my head liner when I stubbed it getting into my truck.
This, to me anyway, will be an interesting healing process because of its unique location…
I never ended up at the doctor for it. I guess since I’m going to be a corpsman in the “near” future I should learn all I can from this…hopefully I wont learn how first hand on every type of injury.
congrats… looks like its healing well
Nice. I feel your pain. A while ago one of my fingers found it’s way into my printing press.
You dumb polack
Lol krant you’re a big dumb animal
The joke was supposed to be that I’m a dumb polack too.
Did that before in the shop, from the other side, on my middle finger. hit the bone. trust me, you want stitches. it will be a much faster and more pleasant recovery.
Hit the bone:KE:KE:KE:KE:KE I would have screamed like a 12 year old girl watching a scary movie
From what I gather its better to damage the top part of the finger/thumb because there’s less important stuff in that part of the thumb/fingers, stitches at this point wouldn’t help as it kind closed up on its own now. Missed the golden hour on that one.
Top of hand, anyone can stitch, bottom is hand surgeon territory for the most part I guess.
Might try some PlayStation this week 
Main thing was keeping it clean, and make sure nothing was in it, so far so good.
