There's a chap with a hand just like that at post #135I gave myself a sore one with a pair of hoof shears a couple of years ago. Like an idiot, I patched myself up and carried on. I should really have gone to A&E as I'm still suffering nerve pain. Think I did some real damage at the time. You know how it can be though sometimes. You're under pressure to finish a job as there's nobody else to do it, and self-care kind of takes a back seat
This taught me a lesson though

Or walk in to hotel open bathroom door getting up in dark for a pee. Had to explain to reception I hadn’t committed murder and apologised for the red sheets as my forehead wound dripped onto the counterTop tip: don't slip with the hatchet whilst cutting kindling the same day you've had an anticoagulant shot.
Don't ask me how I know.......
Many years ago I woke up in a hotel to a blood-soaked pillow & sheets......
More likely you're a loud snorer and your wife whacked your nose?Many years ago I woke up in a hotel to a blood-soaked pillow & sheets......
And blood all over the edge of the bedside cabinet.
I must have rolled over in the night, smacked my nose on the cabinet & given myself a nosebleed. All without waking up.
Have I ever mentioned that wife says I'm.a deep sleeper?
There is a fox for that...More likely you're a loud snorer and your wife whacked your nose?
Been there, done that, trying to suture a cut on your right hand with your left hand is interesting. I scored a 5 when I showed my handwork to a nurse I know.I gave myself a sore one with a pair of hoof shears a couple of years ago. Like an idiot, I patched myself up and carried on.

It's still not right. Sometimes it feels as though I've just poured boiling water over it for a second or two. I should've had it seen to properly at the time, in hindsight
I can't disagree with that. I've had nerve-damaged cuts professionally attended to, and it takes a long time to get the feeling back.
Sepsis risk?I admit at least my recovery will be (likely) be signifantly easier however first time I've had too go out too A&E for a legitimate reason and I'm now on 4 antibiotics every 6 hours for the next 5 days.
Dropped a bullet into mud and I had a tiny cut that blew up the following morning would of never expected something like that too happen especially on a tiny surface scratch, and like the dumbass I am I've waited 7 days too get onto antibiotics.
We're all guilty of that - i fractured my elbow in the summer, left it 9 days before Mrs forced me to get it looked at as she sick of me whinging. Bloody thing caused nerve damage thats still troubling me, going for nerve tests in new year.and like the dumbass I am I've waited 7 days too get onto antibiotics.
Always risk of leptospirosis in that scenario.I admit at least my recovery will be (likely) be signifantly easier however first time I've had too go out too A&E for a legitimate reason and I'm now on 4 antibiotics every 6 hours for the next 5 days.

They never mentioned Sepsis but they did come up too A&E If anything progresses, There's without a doubt an infection however there's been a complete lack of pus thankfully.Sepsis risk?
That doesn’t sound good
Glad you're getting the treatment you need.
Take care of yourself!
Wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery.
sure it hurts, but the wound Is completely healed and Its internal now.
Whaat!
