So Monday night I was sitting at my friends house and I was kind of bored. So I decided I wanted to take a trip to the Emergency room.. What better way than to cut myself with a knife!!

**Warning..May not be for the squeamish!**













Six stitches later..

And my weapon of choice

Benchmade that was hand sharpened by me on a diamond stone.

I was cutting something not paying attention, half watching the TV and half trying to get my friends puppy to quit chewing on my shoe. Next thing I know the knife slipped off what I was cutting and sliced the living shit out of my left thumb. Im fairly certain I saw the bone/tendon right before blood started pouring out and I wrapped it with a paper towel. Had to drive home with just my right hand and my gf took me to the E-room.

I believe I barely missed a tendon but I won't really know until the swelling goes down to see if I can bend my thumb up. Right now I can't. I can still grasp things fine so at least it works that way.

LOL

This reminds me of the time the hubby used the drill which then ended up in his finger cutting thru his tendon. I think it needed 2 stitches on the tendon and like 7 for the skin. The doc actually had to lift up some skin that got ripped off the finger and was mostly just flapping around and cut it away to properly sew it together... It was quite an interesting night :D

I wish I knew where the pictures are...

i'd rather get cut by a sharp knife, your cut looks like it'll heal well.

although your story isn't nearly as bad as a coworker that knelt down to pick a box up with a broadhead in his cargo pocket. just barely nicked his femoral artery :)

Ya, been there, done that, got the T-shirt. My hands are so freaking scarred up by now from knife accidents it's not funny.

Had to get the last joint on one of 'em sewed back on once. Don't recommend that, the only nerves that ever grew back were the PAIN ones. Dammit.

I think if it wouldnt be for super glue I would have bleed out long time ago. LOL
Nice slice.

Best I have to share is I knocked my Kbar off my desk into my foot(no shoes or socks) which stood up like it fell into some cork board. That was a fun night....

Yea mine was too deep for Steri-Strips or Dermabond (superglue). My skin curled up like it was elastic. They said if I didn't come get stitches it would've gotten infected immediately. I also got a prescription for antibiotics.

I was going to but everytime I took the pressure off of it I bled like a stuck pig.

Yea deadcell that sounds pretty painful...

It's like there's something in the back of my brain that wants me to get rid of all my fingers. When I was 19 I got the tip of my right index finger smashed off between a trailer and the back door of a Tahoe. That's right, smashed, not cut.
