Lessons Learned

If you're squeamish, come back tomorrow and I'll post about stupid names. But come on, you know you want to look. It's not that bad...


I wasn't supposed to take the original stuff off until today, but I had to shower. Believe me, I needed it. And my job of it- well, it looked better last night. Before I went to work and lifted boxes like I probably shouldn't have. And, yes, they let me use the boxcutters again. But not that nice sharp one, as- "Did you want to get rid of this?" "No. Why, does it have your blood on it?" "Yep." "Oh. Well then yeah, chunk it."


For perspective on where it is in case you don't care for the next one. Creative ideas for good excuses/lies/I'm tired of the boxcutter fight story? Although I don't care for the "I missed my wrist" one, thanks anyway, Kiernan.


Please make sure to comment after you're done going "Ewwwww." But trust me, it looked much worse. And despite the general opinion of "I couldn't watch them put string in my own hand." Why not? How many chances am I gonna get?

First, let's hope you don't get any more chances to watch yourself being sewn up.

Now, as to your "cover story"... How 'bout "I overpowered an Islamic hijacker, and only got 4 stitches to show for my heroism"?

I'd like to show my stitch wound too, but I'd have to pull down the G-string, and I don't want to be doin' that.

Never thought box cutters would cause so much harm. Hope your wound has healed now.

Ewwww! Where do I go to "be sick?"

I hope it heals really, really quickly.

Miss Nettie Belle, You have got to be more careful. This is a mom speaking here. Make sure you keep that clean and give it a little air on occasion...

Poor you! *hugs*

But I'm not the least bit grossed out. It looks a lot better than the 4 healing incisions on my tummy from my gall bladder surgery a week ago.

:-)

THEY LET YOU HAVE THE BOX CUTTER AGAIN?!?! Wow.

Ok, after the title of the post I was expecting something really gorey and gross...that wasn't so bad (thankfully).

Darlene, with all due respect, I imagine it would require you pulling down your granny panties.

Nettie - Ouch! Make sure you keep it clean! I know it's hard to type with one hand. I learned that after I broke my arm last summer.

Hope you're feeling better!

Oh you poor thing!

I bet that hurts......

Keep away from anything sharp in the future - that's what I say!

bxFlippin sweet, dude :)

But you dont know "eew" until you see my arm... or saw my arm when I was six. It looked more like a... bloody mountain range to say the least. 37 external stitches... I actually still have some internal ones that didnt really come out, and I have a wicked awesome scar...

HEY FYI we finally moved my actual comp to my new house :) *jumps in air*

so you have no excuse not to get back on AIM cuz I'll be there

*hugs* I miss you!

It looks bad, but I bet that was bleeding a lot--looks it. I'm glad it didn't get a chance to get infected. You're lucky!

Looks like very good stitch work. Should heal up nicely, if you leave it alone and try not to use the hand too much.

stitches just seem so wrong to me, i've had to watch the doctors stitch up my son on three different occasions, i looked at yours but now my hands actually feel weak. looks like it should heal up ok though.

Do you have to remove the stitches?
or is it those kind that will dissolve??

well, think of my Dad's hand, and I hope you will better! :)

take care!

If you keep using box cutters, you may have the chance again. :D

Do those pillowcases make it feel better? What kind of sheets are those? They look so cool - they remind me of something, but I can't put my finger on it. It makes me miss my Smurfette sleeping bag. I am serious, by the way.

I am sorry about your hand. I will pray for a fast healing! Meanwhile, step away from the unopened boxes!

OK, those look like some rather lovely stitches! That doctor should be proud.
How did the doc tie them off. I can't tell.
Do you get to take them out or are tehy going to disolve.
I would say I am jealous, but that is not really true.
I would have watched too!
Only thing is, if (or should I say when) Squink gets his stitches (especially the first ones), will I be able to watch?
