I got seven stitches yesterday and a whole lot of Lidocane.
Yesterday I cut my thumb really really deep while opening a can during rough sex. I got seven stiches and got to see a lot more of my own inside flesh than was needed. I'm not a wimp, but watching them peel back the skin on my thumb to look at the fleshy insides was a little freaky and caused another wave of shock. Basically, blood pressure goes down low enough that I get tunnel vision, silvery vision, and my hearing starts to go out. I have to be sitting/laying down or I'll outright faint. I didn't hit any tendons or serious nerves, even though I nearly hit bone(I may have, lol).
The amount of blood that came out of my thumb is kinda freaky...they kept irrigating it but it didn't really stop until the stitches went in. Bastards wouldn't give me any real pain meds, bleh...I'm happy I got a little Motrin script but jeez I really wanted something a bit more badass, like Percocet.
Life without being able to use one of your thumbs sucks, especially when you craft/sew -constantly-...I hate being idle, arrgh!
Ah well always stuff you can do one handed. Hopefully this will be more than 50% healed by the time the stitches come out, and 100% before the end of the month.
