No someone skated over his hand and cut right through the glove.

Are you going to have nerve damage like he does?

Ouch!

No I don't have any nerve damage, I can wiggle all my fingers and I can feel everything just fine *whew* I'm back to typing with all my finger again today...I'm doing much better today!

 

[nitelite33]

My husband is a combat life saver in the National Guard, he got the bleeding under control QUICK! Had it wrapped up and ready to head to the ER in like 3 minutes! The only time it really started to bleed bad was when the unwrapped it at the ER to clean it out and then they stopped it oh with in 3-4 minutes. I was lucky to be in good hands!

Sorry for your friend....ewwwwww Did he go into shock?

 

[Lord Porn]

How long do the stitches stay in?

 

[marksgirl]

How long do the stitches stay in?

They have to stay in 10 days. I get them out on the 4th of March...I'm saving a pain killer for that as I've never had stitches and I'm afraid that it's going to hurt....*cringe*

 

[unclej]

let me know the day before you get your stitches out. i've got a big stick you can bite down on...wait a minute what the fuck am i saying? never mind, ignore that and good luck.

 

[nimbus9]

Believe it or not when they pull the stiches out it will tickle each time just a little. I put a chainsaw into my leg years ago. Eighty stiches.

Holy Shit! Makes my 13 stitches look like a scratch!

I'm still taking the pain killer cause I'm a chicken!

He was surprisingly sedate... /shrug maybe that was the shock?

 

[marksgirl]

Even thought I did not lose much blood my husband told me later that I was in shock, all pale and shaking. I took a pain killer and don't really remember. I'm sure your friend was a little shockie too, I was sedate as well.

 

[nimbus9]

Would you believe the Tetnus shot they gave me hurt worse than the wound. I could hardly lift my arm for three days.

They gave me one too and I never felt it! It never was sore either. Actually when I went to take a bath the next day I looked down as saw the bandaid and forgot that they had even given me one. Sorry yours hurt.

Removal of stitches doesn't hurt. You feel a little tug and that is about it. Trust me...I know about stitches. I have had enough of them in my life. heh heh.

Also...if you can, before going in to have them pulled, wash your hands and let that wounded one soak a bit. It helps to soften the area and lets the stitch pull through with out a hitch.

Take care of your self in the mean time.
