I told my mom to buy me some of those today, but instead she came home with bandaids and gauze hahah. Doesn't really help much to keep the cut together, but it does keep it all nice and clean.
clean is good...did you clean it out with alcohol or peroxide lol dirty fountain water probably isnt good
Me too! hahaha Peroxide is the shit, but it smells really weird. Did you ever put a capful of peroxide in your ears to clean it out? The bubbles tingle a lot and when its done you empty the peroxide from your ear onto a paper towell and it's all yellow. Ew
haha yeah ive done that...makes me giggle while its bubbling lol i havent done it in a while though cause i usually clean my ears whenever i get out of the shower...i like the way qtips feel
Yes, be more careful, please. You should really try to find a place to stay when you're drunk and not wander about like that - Indoors or maybe on a patio or somebody's backyard. Or if it comes to it a cheap hotel room - but you gotta be careful with that, too. Thats where the crack heads and meth addicts hang out. Last summer (not the one that is just ending but the one before) I got drunk by myself and went out to this playground by my house. i was having a blast until this car drove by. since it was like 2:00 in the morning I decided it might be wise to avoid being seen by this person. Also I thought it might be fun to pull some james bond superspy shit while I was drunk, so I dashed away to hide in a shadow in the corner of the playground. There was a bench at the edge of that shadow that was black and therefore invisible. My shin hit one end of it and I literally cleared the entire length of the bench before I landed on my face on the other side. Its funny, when it happened I was all worried that I'd knocked some teeth out but that was actually just the feeling of dirt and grime that had gotten in my mouth when I landed on it. The real problem was when I tried to stand up and realized I couldn't. Because my leg was broken. I had to call an ambulance on my cell-phone, crab-walk out of the playground to wait for it, then get surgery that same night - they inserted a metal rod through the entire length of my tibia, and that rod will be in my leg for the rest of my life. I can still feel the lumps where the screws are, i can't feel half of my knee, and the parts that I can feel usually hurt at least a little, and often severely. I also couldn't walk without crutches for like a month after it happened and wasn't back to completely normal walking for like 5 months. I still occasionally have a slight limp on bad days.
Holy shit! That's fuckin scaryyy.. That makes me not wanna do dumbass things when I'm drunk anymore haha.
if you can't get butterfly stitches, and you ought to, bandaid across the gash, then use the gauze or an ace bandage to hold the bandaid and keep it from moving. you can cut bandaids into butterflies but they dont work as good. peroxide should always be used with care on deep cuts or puncture wounds, if you arent careful you can get bubbles trapped in there "You are never to put hydrogen peroxide on a deep cut or wound, as it could possibly damage tissue and cause loss of sensation. " http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_hydrogen_peroxide_help_disinfect_a_deep_cut also, i recommend getting a spool of quilting or upholstery thread (i carry black, but with your level of clumsiness you may want a flesh tone ) and a package of new needles. call it a sewing kit or a first aid kit, its both! stitches are stupidly expensive, and really easy to do yourself. you may have to stitch yourself up in an emergency, you know?
yea seriously. i've done stuff like that sober. atleast drunk is an excuse so you don't look like a clumsy dumbass.
Oh god, I'd NEVER stitch myself back up. I hate needles. I hope I didn't fuck shit up with the peroxide. The cut is pretty deep, and it's pretty numb.
I have a metal rod all the way through my femur from doing a jackass stunt. I'm not sitting here trying to make it all scary. I got the same thing and it doesn't bother me.
fuck sara i think the universe is telling you to quit drinking so much! i'm glad you're ok but you're still an idiot. funny story btw
