a painful realization

i accidentally sliced my thumb open today while trying to chop up an onion. It was a really sharp knife, and it went sort of deep, into the pad of my thumb.

I proceeded to wash it out with some soap and water and let it bleed. and, knowing a thing or 3 about this kind of thing, i knew it would be best to irrigate the heck out of it. I started to do this by spraying water directly into the cut, and quickly came to the realization that I will always anesthetize a person before irrigating.

it did not feel good.

i did have some suture, which might have been a little overkill, but i also had some krazy glue.

i must say, the krazy glue worked quite nicely. it's the poor man's dermabond.
