Goddamn, I just cut my finger off.

[Magrittes Pipe]

Well, not all the way. But it still fucking hurts like a sonofabitch.

Cutting cheese with a steak knife = bad idea.

Actually, to be fair, the finger is pretty much intact -- the nail's gonna fall off, though. :puke:

[flamingyouth]

1. I hope it feels better soon

I find that listening to Dio really helps when I'm in great pain. But that's just me. ;)

[Fenris]

2. Ha ha.

Ronny James heals all wounds, Lisa. :hug::hi::loveya:

15. Power, power, it happens every day!

Power, DEVOUR all along the way.
Oh no, move me out of harm.
I need a spell and a charm.
Fly like the wind --
I'm no pawn, so be gone, speed on and on.
Kill the King!

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

3. UNCLEAN! no wonder, ya goyim... you can't mix cheese and

steak utensils!

Heathen!

[Amaya]

4. Is it still bleeding?

You may need stitches.

[m-jean03]

5. I'm sorry to hear that

Maybe someone will kiss it better for you.

[sam sarrha]

6. check out your local A.A. meeting.... I thought i was accident prone

till i sobered up. i was just too drunk to do anything right ...

hope my joke was not true.. addiction is a bitch.:toast:

[lil-petunia]

7. superglue and duct tape

well, maybe a little drano and Plumber's helper

(NO DON'T DO IT!!!!! JUST KIDDING!)

actually, amazing surgery is taking place with super glue. that stuff is magic.

nails. nasty. painful to grow back, and the whole finger feels like shit 'cause you can't use it normally.

good luck!

[happynewyear]

8. you should go to the ER and get a tetanus shot

I'm serious. I did the same thing and I had to get one because apparently it can be pretty serious.

It took awhile to heal btw - I cut the end off of mine while hastily chopping up a credit card. I was using a pair of those blue Durasharp scissors that they sell at Ace Hardware. They'll cut anything up; including YOU!

Hope you aren't in a lot of pain. Try a tourniquet if it is bleeding a lot.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. Unless you have had one recently, that is....

and as long as the finger is attached DO NOT put a tourniquet on it, you will lose the finger for sure that way.

[theivoryqueen]

10. Aaaah - I totally did that when i was twelve

I was too embarrassed to tell my mom - so I kept it wrapped in toilet paper for a week. It didn't fall off, but NOW I use a cutting board vs. the old hold-cheese-in-hand-and-slice-hard method.

[theivoryqueen]

11. also - you seem to be typing okay, considering....

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. Yes, I am typing okay (if a bit slow)...

...no, I don't need stitches (the flesh isn't actually cut that deep -- oh, but the nail!)

The bleeding has (more or less) stopped now. I shall take a look at it soon to determine whether it'll require medical treatment or not; as I couldn't immediately suss out how deep the cut was (all that blood obscured my view).

Anyway, thanks for the kind wishes. Except for that thing about the tourniquet -- I'm a guitarist, I can't afford to get the middle finger on my left hand amputated.

[theivoryqueen]

16. oh, hell - guitarist? You might outta take care

use plenty of triple antibiotic ointment and keep the entire area bandaged to prevent further damage via usage. If you really do have to play- put duct tape over the aforementioned bandage and ointment. Wrap it tight and try not to play chords.

on edit - the plastic surgeons say to soak it between dressings - soapy warm water, 10-15 minutes.

[MnFats]

13. disinfect that puppy....you don't know what microbial creatures...

...are floating around your home, especially the kitchen.
rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, benitadine will work, though few people have the last item in their homes.
danger of infection probably the greatest threat now.

and yeah, some direct pressure should stop the bleeding ... not a tourniquet.

[dolo amber]

17. Ah, rub some dirt in it

you be a'ight...:P

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

18. What kind of cheese were you cutting? 5 month old parmesan?

Good lord man, cheese is best fresh, soft and room temperature. Hasn't Josh Strength taught you anything?

Suck it up man!

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. 8-year-old cheddar

[tigereye]

20. Aren't those knives locked up in a cabinet?

They are around here. Sorry I will shut up now. Hope you are intact and healing. You got to be careful with those knives!

only you would tell us about the cheese. And it would be really aged cheese. Cheese snob.

[Magrittes Pipe]

28. Ha ha ha.

You think you are SO funny. :P

[tigereye]

31. you should have seen what I wrote first

and then thought better of it!

Hope you are okay.

[Magrittes Pipe]

32. That's not nice!

You should never "think better" of something when talking to me. I crave abuse!

[tigereye]

33. here you go

:spank:

I do have some shred of decency left...

I will consider your request next time I think better of something.

[matcom]

21. OUCH! done that before

but your still gonna eat the cheese right?

[Magrittes Pipe]

23. Now it has extra iron!

:bounce:

[matcom]

24. mmmmmmm cheese and ketchup

Teddy likes those kind of sammwitches too

[m-jean03]

22. How are you and your finger today, dahling?

Is your boo boo better? :hi:

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. It's all wrapped up in Band-Aids.

[Bridget Burke]

26. I used a steak knife on cheese once.....

Thought to add a bit of cheese to a recipe at the last minute & just grabbed the closest knife. The knife slid off the hard cheese but did quite well on human flesh. Ouch. Lots of blood, serious pain at first. Healed without a problem.

They always tell you to use a good knife. They are right!

[Magrittes Pipe]

29. I'm just surprised nobody has made a "cutting the cheese" joke yet.

[ronnykmarshall]

39. See my message #38

DAMN this is slow group!

[LynneSin]

27. Usually when I lop off appendages I post on DU first for advise

:crazy:

[Magrittes Pipe]

30. Look at my post. I did not ask for advice.

I just wanted to let my dear friends know that I inflicted a knife wound on myself.

[tigereye]

37. fie on thee

oh dishonored one!

[ronnykmarshall]

38. "Cutting cheese" with a steak knife?

How the hell did you cut your finger? I'd more worried about your ass if I were you! :silly:


Come on, SOMEONE had to say it!

[Magrittes Pipe]

40. Well done, Ronny!

Thank you!!! :bounce:

[ronnykmarshall]

41. You're welcome

I could believe this thread was up that long with out it.
