I was doing the dishes earlier, and as I was cleaning a jar, it slipped and shattered. The underside of my right hand got a huge gash, along with several smaller cuts. I spent three hours in the ER and got some stitches... The bad thing is that I have to keep this rather large dressing on my hand for two days.

And I'm only using my left hand right now, so it's taking a bit longer to post than usual.

Bah, I'm not on painkillers. It really doesn't hurt now, so that's good.

I do have a prescription for some antibiotics, though.

What complicates the situation even more is that Cockburn is somebody's actual last name.
A hot Cockburn? Which one?

:D

My mum did that with a glass...only 3hrs? I take it you haven't had the delights of the great British NHS.

Anyway, keep it clean, don't rush it and should be as good as new.

i suggest letting your dog lick your wound then starve it and wiggle your wounded arm in front of it saying "doggie want a biscuit"

Dont forget to ask for codene, papa likes codene!

Sorry to hear about your hand dude. At least you didn't come by the wound in a stupid manner. The last time I gashed my hand was when I stupidly decided to punch out a plate glass window.

Yeah, the guy who did my X-Rays was surprised. He said that the cuts were very clean and didn't damage any nerves or muscles. If you're gonna get cut, you'd best do it with glass!

That's nothin.

My cat gave me a cut on my middle finger; so I can't use the scroll button on my mouse!

The horror!

(J/K, your wound is worse than mine. Hope ye get better though.)

Codeine is an opiate without all the good bits. :p Plus it constipates people...

Therapeutic marijuana?

Daaaamn, man are you alright? That's got to suck ass big time.

I did the same kind of thing when I was a dishwasher years ago, but I am left handed so it wasn't such a bother. Look at this in a positive way! Now you can learn to use your left, and correct, hand!

Shit man, cats are evil like that. Declaw the bastard!

my ankle crushed under a 195 pound guy in football o yay :mad:

They claw you when they're happy. They claw you when they're upset. How do we humans win? :confused:

Damn man, that sucks. The hands always bleed life a mofo too.

Claw them back. Since we don't have claws, use X-acto knife blades taped to your fingertips. That'll teach 'em.

:eek:

yeah, that was a different day ;) :p

Tell me about it. I ruined one of my towels!

I almost forgot... I would've been posting more a few minutes ago, but my stupid laptop froze. I had to take the A/C adapter out, lift the laptop with my left hand, and yank the battery out with my right. Needless to say, my right hand suffered.

:eek: Poor thing.

And no painkillers? :eek:

What is wrong with you? Any excuse for painkillers! (That's my motto. ;) )

D o y o u w a n t u s t o t y p e s l o w f o r y o u ?

(Seriously, that sucks. Hope you recover quickly.)

...

I still think we should eat the cats :)

free the cats!!!

HEY! None of that!

It's not nearly painful enough to warrant the painkillers. Besides, I like having a clear head.

Okay, about twenty minutes ago I got my prescriptions, which are Tylenol (advanced type) an an Antibiotic with some painkillers in it.

I took them about ten minutes ago, and the pain has lessened... Somewhat.

Fuck that must have hurt. I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, it hurt after about a minute. When it happened, I didn't even notice it... Until I looked and saw blood gushing out into the sink that happened to be full of dishes.

OUCH! Well, heal up quickly!

OUCH! Well, heal up quickly!

I'm just going along with it... No advanced treatments. Things always work out better for me this way.

Sorry to hear of your injury, Potaria. :(
Take care...

Oh, I am... But there's a bonus to this. I get to make my left arm/hand more dextrous!

I'm sorry about that. How many stichtes? I was had 18 or 19 (one of the two, don't remember which exactly) in my hand. No fun. I am so sorry.

Next time you need to get cut, gimme a TG. I know people who would gladly pay to get cut in your place. Tee-hee!

Five total, though they're heavy-duty. Two on the smaller cut, and three on the gaping hole below my thumb. They'll have to be taken out in ten days.

Damn. I can more than empathize with you, as an amateur chemist - I've been in some explosions that made burger out of me, glass sticking into the walls of the garage 35 feet from the explosion. The bad news is, those scars aren't going away for a long, long, long, long, long time. In fact, I still have to use an electric razor for my neck three years after the last time, since the scar is still too large and pronounced to use a regular razor blade, from one explosion that lodged a piece of glass in there.

That's the bad news - those scars never heal. In fact, the same thing happened to my dad, washing a glass by hand, when he was a teenager. He still has the scar at age 60. Glass is evil, man.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Glass is fucking evil.

OUch. Did you die?

Anyway, Good time to be learn that your ambidextrous especially when rubbing under loins.

Take care, Get well soon. :)

HA you know how your Mom told you not to run around outside without Shoes?
Well i did(11or so years ago) and i sliced my Foot open on parts of the GArage we were having made at the time!
Steels good like that!

Or playing Hockey on the drive way in Jandal's and stepping on a nail thru a wooden plank-which evidently was next to the GArage!

I guess youd expect me to hate the Garage but no i live in it!

Im sure it will kill me one dayOh well! :)

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Glass is fucking evil.


Sounds like a clean cut though- you may want to put antibiotic ointment on it to help keep the skin around the wound softer and elastic. When that area dries out, it will itch-especially on a hand where its hard to keep it immobile.

HEY! None of that!
