I had to get 7 stiches...

Hello all,

It's very hard to type now, so bear w/ me if I mess up on a few words.

OK anyways... for those of you who cringe (like me) at this sort of story... sorry if I make you cringe.

Today I had my sister's box-thing, and she asked me for it, so I threw it, and when my hand went in the air, it got slashed on my sister's big knife she was holding. I woke up my dad and put it under the water, and I passed out soon because of the blood. When I woke up, my dad helped me stumble into my bed and he called my mom. We then went to the ER. It was a 3 hour wait, and then finally I got in. It hurt sooo much! :( I felt ever bit of it, even with the numbing medicine. Well, I was crying soo much too. :(
Sorry for my weird form of complaining & 'seeking sorrow', but I'm not seeking sorrow or anything. I just figured that I should tell you all.
Anyway, I'm better now, and I have one of those metal things on my thumb. My mom gave me IV Profen (sp?) for it.
So if I'm not around much, it's because it gets annoying typing with my right hand only (plus the final exams are coming up!)

Toodles,
Britt :)

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I hope it heals quickly and you feel better soon. And good luck with your final exams.

What an awful experience Britt!!!:( :( Years ago I sliced my finger when chopping a turnip and I ended up getting stitches as well. Ouch.....I know what you are going through. Heal soon my dear.

In my opinion, you have every right to seek sympathy! I don't deal with pain well and I'd be crying and passing out too probably.

I hope you get better soon and do good on those exams!

Eeek! That sounds horrib-bibble!!! :eek: Hope you heal soon!

p.s. Best of Luck on your finals!!!

I"m so sorry Britt!!
I hope it heals quickly, and good luck on the exams!!

oh dear sounds painful, you poor thing, what on earth was your sister doing with a big knife?
Hope it heals quick and the pain killers give you relief, take care

OUCH! OMG! That is SO scary! I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain today. :( It will take time to heal, but hopefully you'll be all better soon.

Ow!That must have hurt!I hope you get better soon.That sounds like it would have been really scary.Im glad your getting better tho.

Oh Poor Britt {{{Hugs}}} and heal soon. Goodluck with the finals.

Lynne

Ouch!:eek: THAT MUST OF HURT!:(

I had to get stitches when I was 2, so I don't remeber how it felt, but it must of hurt! Get better soon!

Yeah, you deserve some sympathy. Nothing wrong with whining when you've just been stabbed. ;)

You're young, though, and you'll heal very well. I bet you won't even have much of a scar after five years or so.

But hopefully it will be healed in no time. Take care of it, & well wishes on your finals:D

Sorry to hear about your injury, Britt! I hope it will heal real soo!

from another "sick" PT-er;) :(

Get well soon Brit.

Good Luck with your exams.

PS. So your sister had a knife because....?

I hope it'll heal soon Britt! I did something similar a few years ago. I don't have a scar, but that finger feels a little numb where I sliced it.

Btw, if it still hurts, try pressing the tip of your finger - And keep it upwards! ;)

Chin up - and Good luck on your exam! :)

My sister wants to be a chef when she grows up. She was chopping vegitables for her soup for dinner, and when I had her box thing (forgot what it was called), she didn't put it down when she came to get it. Now she's not allowed to use knives (they were those big ones from that commericial, not a regular one) when nobody is really around. :rolleyes: :mad:

thanks everyone :)

:eek: ow! That must've hurt! I'm sorry to hear about your injury, hope you heal quickly.
If that happened to me, I would've passed out at the sight of blood!
Ewwww, I just remembered this. Once, my mom was chopping something, and she accidently cut her finger. The top part of her finger was sliced in half, like it was about to fall off. :p That was gross.

Ouch! that must have really hurt! Hope it heals up quickly for you.

And Good Luck with your exams!
