Use superglue. Seriously...hold the two sides of the cut together, glue them, and the blood will begin clotting almost immediately.

Sounds like you should get that one looked at. A functional thumb is pretty much our only advantage over the lower animals.

Yes, since our brains are identical.

Maybe going to a hospital instead of starting a thread would be a good start :disgust:

Well I'm back.... I'm going to live. :) Thanks for all the good thoughts from the well wishers. To the others, well what the hell else was I going to do but post on ATOT while holding my arm up hoping it would stop bleeding? lol

I thought just thought for sure I was going to be up there all night long. Less than two hours isn't bad.

Oh - 4 stitches. They said it was a good thing I came in because of how deep the cut was and where it was located on my thumb. It's fun typing when you can't feel your thumb.

Unfortunately, I now need to clean my kitchen because it looks like somebody was murdered in there. :laugh:

About 30 minutes ago I just randomly felt this sharp pain on the side of my left hand. Turns out I have a gaping cut probably about 2.5 inches long all along the side of my hand... I have absolutely no idea how I did it and why it just started to randomly hurt while I was sitting here and not, ya know, when I cut my hand.

I don't have any band-aids or anything either. Bahh...

Not going to take pics of my kitchen. Will get a couple of pics up of my thumb tomorrow though! :)

The best part about the whole thing is I get to take the stitches out in a week. I haven't done that in years so that'll be fun. :D
