    if the scar ends up being bad i'll be conjuring up a story about how i got into a fight with ninjas, but if can make it less gnarly that'd be good too!

    Haha, good luck with that.

    it's doin okay, thank you for asking! hurts still and it feels swollen and tight but looks clean and mending. im at work today for a few hours...busting macgyver moves with my elbow to get some things done lol i've managed to horrify everybody here just by looking at my bandaged hand haha everybody has been ultra helpful and kind.

    one tool came by though, asking how my hand was and asked if my artistic career was over (????) who the fuck SAYS THAT? even if it was a joke, it wasn't funny :(

    :eek: Jerk!

    Some people are so weird. Its like they don't know what to say, so they come up with the worst thing!

    I'm glad you're back at work for a little while. It'll all heal up soon. Its amazing how quickly the body mends itself :)

    Keep it moisturised!

    I've used creams containing oatmeal which contains vitamin E and, even if my skin looks funny here and there, there are no welts. (I would get scratched up a lot while trekking in the woods.)
    Avoid the sun.
    Don't scratch.

    And next time don't use a drinking glass for throwing practice. A milk carton will do just fine.

    yeah i figure it was out of not knowing what to say...but damn dude lol he;s a righteous prick anyway so i wasnt all that surprised

    yep, i stayed home the past 2 days just cuz it hurt so bad, but i was able to do work at home. i'll take home what i can't finish today

    it is indeed amazing! i'm glad it is healing well and there is no infection. it;s more frustrating than anything really, i dont do helpless well lol

    well, i don't want to do that lol

    my dad was able to pick up some new meds for me from the doctor, tylenol with codeine. it's working REEEEEALLY well now. like wow

    and to file under "wrong thing to say", this one douchebag at work yesterday stopped by to say hi and said 'oh so your artistic career is completely over now'. like if he meant it as a joke, it truly was NOT funny. he slinked off after i gave this WTF look at him. i dunno, just thought it was rude. didn't help it was hurting bad already
  • i cut my hand pretty bad last week (got 11 stitches) and when i went to the store to get some more gauze noticed these scar solution type dealies

    anybody tried these sort of things? recommendations? if the scar ends up being bad i'll be conjuring up a story about how i got into a fight with ninjas, but if can make it less gnarly that'd be good too!

    I'm not sure if it's available where you are but ask your doctor about Acticoat Burn Dressings. It's made by a company called Nucryst Pharmaceuticals and distributed by Smith and Nephew. http://www.nucryst.com I used to work for them and I know a lot of people who have used the product with great success. It's not just for burns but takes care of scar tissue etc.

    We jest, but because... well, we jest.
    But some remarks made by some people can be so misplaced at times.

    If he ever smashes his face into a tree, you can always tell him his modeling career is completely over now.
  • I will give you a heads up though. It will discolour your skin while you're using it to a silver/blackish colour. It is just like gauze really only it's silver coated thus causing the discolouration so don't worry about that!

    Silver is the largest bacteria killer in the world and that's what allows your skin to recover so quickly and effectively. They say that's why royalty always live so long, it's because they are eating off/with silver all the time.

    yeah it's like i have a decent sense of humor that can go dark sometimes, but it was just uncalled for. he's a bitch anyway so i wasn't all that surprised lol

    Oh my goodness! Good luck! Take some tylenol before you go, to take some edge off of the pain?

    In the future, watch out for those ninjas, will ya? ;)

    welps the stitches are all out (it looks naaaaaaassssty EW). i have paper strips i can use to help seal it up more and a splint to keep my finger straight so it won't pull on the bigger cut. can't work for at least another week, ayy!

    on the brigth side my boss and the rest of my coworkers sent me flowers :) really sweet. i got my vitamin E capsules today, started taking them and i'll be using it on the scar as soon as it's sealed up tight!
