    I can't claim a legendary three night run of consecutive nights to the ER but I do often wonder how various friends and I survived our younger years.

    I think I fucked up today.....I removed the stitches myself....and my thumb split back open.

    MOTHERF**CKER !!!!!

    Did you go back for more stitches? or just duct tape it back up?

    no new stitches yet....not looking forward to that conversation with the doc...."you decided to do what?"....next time I unwrap it I may take a picture.

    I'm a dumbass.
    I can't believe I'm saying this... yes, take a picture.

    (My husband was carving pumpkins the night before Halloween once and sliced into the base of his thumb. He said the blood splurted up straight in the air, like two feet. He'd put pressure on it, let it go and the blood would splurt up again. He knew he needed stitches, but was too embarrassed to go to the emergency room for a pumpkin carving injury. It took forever to heal.)

    I second this.We need more pictures.In fact Maybe Last Exit can bring a camera to work so we can be sickly entertained (not the serious stuff)with stupid human tricks.

    I have a funny feeling that most ERs have seen their share of pumpkin carving injuries!

    It may sound crazy, but when you bandage that thing up, use preparation h instead of neosporin or another ointment. I used it in my hand and it works extremely well. It helps with reducing scarring and it is good for minor pain relief.

    Interesting! I never heard of doing that, but having read that we use too many antibiotics and are building a resistance to them, it sounds like a great idea.

    Ugh, why did I ask for more pictures? I also heard neosporin wasn't great for you. Does it still hurt like hell?

    My physical therapist swore by the stuff for any cuts or scrapes no matter how severe or minor. I used it on my hand after every one of ny surgeries. I put on my kids when they scrape their knees or open up a blister. It does work.

    I soaked my hand on a daily basis in water with a product called hibiclens.
