I cut my finger on a sharp knife
:(

NEVER ever has blood made me feel faint. It's no big thing, but I almost passed out. Glad my darlin' was there to steady me.

I feel like such a wuss :cry:

1. A sharp knife is safer than a dull knife
You're a lot more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife because you have to work harder. With a sharp knife, you just guide it and let it do the work.

2. Convince me that stitches are not needed.
Otherwise, go to the emergency room.

4. heck, I took a 3-mm-deep cut into my left pinkie with cloth
scissors: I yelled "woagh!" and applied pressure to until a bandage was put on the oozing purple-brown blood. Good thing we have veterinary experience in the house.

6. Triple antibiotic ointment
Edited on Wed Aug-03-05 01:11 AM by Whoa_Nelly
and band-aid applied with pressure. keep clean and use the ointment and band-aid for about a week, and it'll heal quickly.
Been there...way too many times.
Feel better soon! :hug:
