I just cut the SHIT out of my left thumb at work...[views:22887][posts:93]________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:12am - AndrewBastard ""] and I should definitely get stitches. I grabbed it right away with my right hand and then wrapped the fuck out of it with gauze and gauze tape and barely lost a drop of blood despite the fact that it was DEEP AS HELL. I just reacted so fucking quickly. I'm not sure if I even need to go get stitches now because the wrap job I did is holding it together but I also dont want to risk never being about to "play" guitar again. I sure as shit wont be able to grip the neck with any power until it heals. |

| ______________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:30am - DukeManjunk ""] superglue. seriously. it'll burn like hell but its cheaper than stitches. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:30am - Yeti ""] he's right. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:33am - AndrewBastard ""] this shit is deep. like if I un-wrap it and give it more than like 3 seconds to hang out, its gonna spit blood. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:34am - DukeManjunk ""] superglue and re-wrap, or pinch it off before the cut to atleast slowdown the bleeding then apply superglue...and re-wrap. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:34am - Yeti ""] is it a situation where you should have been wearing gloves? if not, just get stitches. you'll get the rest of the day off. if you weren't taking proper precautions, don't tell anyone. |

| _______________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:42am - Yeti ""] oh yeah then go get stitches. i cut my finger like that once at a job where i should have been wearing Kevlar gloves, so i didn't tell anyone, it took forever to heal. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:44am - DukeManjunk ""] i used to work with sheet metal, and they expected us to wear those kevlar gloves....but since i'm a welder and you cant wear the kevlar gloves while welding and welding gloves are too big/bulky for any type of manual dexterity i just never wore any gloves unless i was actively welding.....at the end of my first week i counted 38 cuts on my hands. shit was gnarly |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:47am - AndrewBastard ""] we're not expected to wear gloves. I've been doing this kind of work for years and never cut myself. It was kind of a freak accident I just dont feel like going to the hospital. Its such a procedure/pain in the ass. Plus regardless of my insurance, I'll end up paying for it. |
| _______________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:48am - Yeti ""] nah, that's work related. a blade broke, fuck paying for it. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 10:55am - AndrewBastard ""] my job is a joke. I'd never get them to pay for it. |

| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:27am - AndrewBastard ""] ok ok so I'm gonna give it like 24-48 hours to "heal" then superglue the gash. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:27am - AndrewBastard ""] maybe I should sew a Moonblood patch onto it. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:28am - nekronaut ""] SUPER PILLS. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:33am - Alx_Casket ""] I cut my thumb nearly to the bone last summer and I superglued it until it stopped bleeding. There was a blood/superglue bubble which fell off after a few hours, and I applied superglue again. It IS safe, they used to use it in the Vietnam war for not only external but also internal wounds like sealing up a punctured liver. Fuck going in for stitches. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:39am - AndrewBastard ""] does it heal ok? my only concern is it not healing properly and keeping me from playing guitar/gripping the neck comfortably. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:43am - Alx_Casket ""] heals better than anything else as long as you apply it in the right amount. It will feel a little weird if you're not used to it, like a numb/condom feeling. I superglued my guitarist's hand up last practice and he couldn't believe how good it healed up. He was able to play after that no problem. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:45am - RustyPS ""] A guitar player in a band I was in a while ago worked construction and used super glue for any cuts he got, and that didn't hinder his guitar playing at all from what I know. In fact, I'm willing to bet he has more super glue than skin at this point lol. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 20,2012 11:50am - Hoser ""] Ok, dude...take it from a former Marine and ___. Keep pressure on it and get it looked at. The only issue with superglue (and it DOES work, depending on the depth of the wound), is that you end up glueing bacteria INSIDE of the wound....BAD IDEA. It may need some serious debriding to get rid of any tissue that is already dead, and/or dying. Once this is done, and only when it's been done, can the wound be sutured and/or glued properly. You don't want to lose the thumb permanently...have it done right. Remember, you get what you pay for. That's my best advice dude. Don't take a chance on a body part if you want to keep it. |

I dont plan on unwrapping it for at least 24 hours because I know it'll just gush. SO NO PICS...yet. Plenty of pressure, my thumb was blue I had it wrapped so tight at first but it's since loosened up a bit because I'm still working with it. |

Do whatever you want but if you get too worried, just hit the doc's office, it can't possibly hurt anything but your wallet....and you are more important than that.
