Day from hell. Help appreciated

It was a big deal to be me that’s all I will say. K looked as though she would lose her job when she was typing the cheaper man into my gps.

Super glue

Duct tape

Supplement with some 'astringent' herbs (both internally and as a poultice) - which assist with the wound healing process, knitting cells back together and drying up excess blood/pus.

Comfrey comes to mind:

"Comfrey has several medicinal actions. It is known as a vulnerary and as an astringent. These properties make it useful in the healing of minor wounds, both internal and external. Comfrey can be used for minor injuries of the skin, where it will work to increase cell production, causing wounds to heal over rapidly."

Aloe vera and arnica are excellent as well.

These also help ensure no scar is left, and help fight infection.

Not so bad after all. Thanks for well wishes

Golden finger

I've given myself stitches twice. Just sterilize a sewing needle by holding it over a lighter for a few seconds. Thread it and sew up the cut.

The first time it was on my non-dominant hand so I didn't have any trouble putting a few stitches in.

The second time I fell against a wall and cut right above my eyebrow. I had to do about six stitches.

You can see a tiny scar in both spots if one looks really hard but it all healed up well.

Good luck to you. Get a good night's rest and just be glad this day is done and gone.

My buddy from xbl moved here and randomly hits me up. I tell him the story since he doesn’t hav WiFi and he wants to hangout tomorrow. WTF

Military

Tires squealing gun shots going off

There are some decent (e-book format) army field manuals that would allow you to fix yourself up and then you wouldn't need to bother other people.

conclusion: grass lawn is stupid

I think there is an all out assault taking place.

Do I trust him or stay home?

Depends if you're ready for an all-nighter

I’ve known him for years and he’s on my game team. He moved not too far from me and I’m getting vibes but he tells me everything will be alright. Travels the country for military work.

I’m not gay if that is what you are inferring his interests are.

But coincidence after coincidence

It will definitely be okay. I know ur not gay :). Ur fkn awesome is what u R

Its called "Obama Care" walk into the ER and claim it because Obama/Biden said everybody is covered regardless .

Fuck them

Recently ordered some stuff like that off Amazon. Took several weeks for delivery. I was guessing it was being heavily demanded by hospitals to repair skin damage from Covid-vax (the big rashes and flaking skin we've seen pictures of).

Hope your finger heals well. How is your Mom feeling with her broken foot?

Frozen peas, a little beer, some pain meds. She’s tough dude

alcohol is a blood thinner. dont dronk while wounded.

Blood has antibiotic and wound healing properties. A small amount is good. Ots a natural bandage.

Bleeding is also good up to a point, it flushes contaminants from the wound

I wouldnt go back to the chinese guy.

Sounds like it! LOL. Stay safe.

I'm glad your gaws are clean, but what are gaws? I'd like to check if my gaws are clean.

I’m sorry you had a terrible day. I did, too. Glad to know I was not the only one.

I’m sorry they didn’t do your stitches. I don’t understand the medical care system. I had my finger stitched up twice in the 90s. Iirc it was pretty standard, in and out. I would not be able to offer advice. It seems like if it stopped bleeding maybe you’re ok. But if the doctor said to go to ER or clinic, maybe you should.

Buy butterfly bandages, many “stitches” can be replaced by enough of these. Just keep it dry for 5-7 days.

Hi OP,

It looks like you are good to go already.
I am late on the scene.

I used to teach my military unit something called,
"Self Aid and Buddy Care".

It is a small course we were required to take every so often so that military members would stay current on how to address minor issues in the field when there is not a paramedic around to deal with it.

Occasionally, I myself would either be the victim of or someone else I knew would be the victim of a domestic accident involving a cut on the hand of some sort which leads to bleeding all over the place.

For instance, a room mate of mine was in the process of trying to mess with a window air conditioner and there are sharp areas where the cooling process takes place. She attempted to grab from the wrong area or it slipped and she ended up with a nice slice on her hand.

She called out my name and I proceeded to do what I had been trained to do in order to deal with the problem.

The first thing you do is ELEVATE and APPLY PRESSURE at the artery located between the injury and the heart at the location where it crosses over a bone which can be the joint pressure applied from the remaining side of the artery.

In the case of the arm, the artery is called the BRACHIAL artery and runs along the bicep towards the elbow and pressure can be applied by either your opposite hand gripping with your free hand's thumb pressing at the inside of the bicep shortly before the elbow, enough to slow the bleeding somewhat in the case of a minor injury such as the one you experienced. You do not need to stop the bleeding and do not need to cut off circulation as doing so can result in major damage to the portion of the limb DISTAL (away from the body) from the pressure point.

The idea is just to slow the bleeding enough to allow for clotting to be able to take place.

This whole time, the site of the injury is being raised or ELEVATED above the heart so that it slows the rate of bleeding.

There are different types of bleeding. In the case of capillary, venus or arterial bleeding, the color and way it exits lets you know which it is and how to proceed.

Arterial bleeding is the most dangerous. It is dark red and spurts with each heart beat. This is life threatening and will lead to bleed out, loss of consciousness and death once the loss of blood pressure in the body leads to failure to distribute blood. There are 8 liters roughly of blood in the body and when you lose 2 of them you have lost consciousness for sure and if you lose 3 to 4, it is time to die.

Most bleeding is not arterial because arteries are located where you are unlikely to cut them.

The orientation of our physique is such that how we hold our limbs protects our arteries which are located PROXIMALLY (closer to the core of the body), so on the inside of the arm or the inside of the leg for limbs and within the chest cavity in the case of the heart.

The most exposed area is at the neck, which is the carotid artery.

In the case of an arm or leg arterial cut, a tourniquet around the area which results in the loss of the limb associated will save the life, but in the case of the carotid artery in the neck, a tourniquet does not work because you can not amputate a head and keep the heart going, so that is a death sentence.

When the hand is bleeding, you ELEVATE it above the heart, keep pressure on the BRACHIAL artery, go over to the sink where you can wash the wound sit down and let your heart rate lower while you keep your hand elevated. You can also do this in the tub where you can sit and not worry about the blood staining anything or just lean over the kitchen or bathroom sink.

Once the bleeding has stopped, do not lower your arm yet or it may start bleeding again. Now that the bleeding has stopped, it is because the oxygen is beginning to clot the slower moving blood and you need to give it a chance to do so.

Once the blood has clotted enough to allow you to let the hand down a little (if you drop it too fast, you will feel it throb and if it starts flowing again, it is too early), you can treat your wound with raw organic honey.

Honey works for several reasons.

Honey is sticky and will work as a glue in sealing up the wound and blocking the oxygen which will take away the sting you feel when the air hits your wound.

Honey is antibacterial and will stop infection from taking place and it can get in your blood itself and it won't harm you as the contents of the honey, which are essentially water and sugar are something which your blood is composed of as well and since you just lost a lot of sugar and water when you were bleeding, the honey will help you to provide that back to the blood directly.

Honey is made from sugar and so is your skin and it is already in a format that makes it accessible to the skin trying to regrow itself.

Lastly, if your wound is all healed up, you can lick any excess honey up and restore sugars to your body without worrying about bacteria from your mouth because the honey sterilizes the wound with its anti-bacterial properties.

And, if you choose to bandage the wound, the honey will adhere to the bandage, keeping it in place and when you remove the bandage later, the honey will be between the clot and the bandage so that the bandage will not remove the clot from the wound and not open the wound back up.

If you have something like an open blister that you want to wrap and you need the skin to heal and regrow at the outer layer, we used to use a combination of neosporin and table sugar, but you can just use honey as well and that takes care of both the anti bacterial needs as well as the wound closing, stop stinging from the air and regrowing new skin with (carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms that composes the formula for both sugar and skin).

Do not EVER take a tetanus shot. Tetanus shots are a fucking bold faced lie by the powers that be. They are an excuse to stick you with a needle and fuck you up with all kinds of horrible poisons and they have absolute nothing to do with rusty nails; that's a horror story to scare you into letting them stick you with a fucking needle, which is nothing more than a fucking nail itself that is loaded with poisons as all shots are in fact.

That is all.

Yeah Asian dr guy didn’t like it and kept pushing tetanus shot. I said there is no way. Especially after the way he treated me

Oh and why upgrade if I have to captcha every post?
