Ouch! ER for stitches, ok, will be typing lefty for awhile. Slowly.

[Electric Monk]

Hope it doesn't get infected.

I could use a good laugh...

1. I'm guessing you didn't get it on film. /nt

3. Occurred to me to take a pre-ER photo as I left ER to come home.

Pre-ER it was the furthest thing from my mind.

It looked like raw meat. I could see bone. I'm lucky there's no tendon or nerve damage.

2. Why did the one-handed man cross the road?

?
?
?
?

To get to the second-hand store!

(Oh, sorry, you said "a good laugh." Well, I'm fresh-out of those.)

Hope it heals comfortably!

[UnrepentantLiberal]

4. What happened?

[siligut]

5. Yes, I want to know what happened too

He said he could see the bone

[Tuesday Afternoon]

6. to the bone ?!

owie! what happened?

[Electric Monk]

9. kitchen accident.

not realizing my dog was underfoot and catching myself on a knife in the dishrack.

dog is unhurt, at least.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

10. Oh, ouch indeed.

It hurts to think about it.

[siligut]

11. So at least the cut was clean?

A straight cut, without torn or jagged edges is easier to stitch and heal. Eek, I have to be more careful about leaving knives in the dishrack. Glad the dog is unhurt.

[Electric Monk]

12. Silver lining, sort of, yes.

In retrospect, even half an inch to one side or the other and I likely would've been in way worse shape. Could've hit an artery or cut a tendon, etc, but I didn't.

It happened so fast, too (cliche, I know). From tripping on the dog to bleeding on everything was about a second, maybe. I would like to have that second back.

7. Well gee...

I hope you're left handed for...other things.

(Writing! Perverts.)

8. Were you mowing your lawn with this?
