    sliced off the tip of my finger!

    I was chopping some green onions in my kitchen, using a large knife that I don't normally use. Now the corner of my left index finger is gone, along with a good 1/8th inch of the nail. I really don't want to go to the ER, so I'm just keeping it elevated with pressure at the moment.

    Hurts like bloody hell!

    On a side note, this is why I'm glad my mom is a nurse--I completely kept my calm, got a towel around the finger right away, turned off the stove top, cleared everything off, and taped up the finger then sat down with my hand elevated above my heart. Thanks for the good training, mom!

        As soon as I can take the towel off without bleeding. Probably tomorrow.

          maybe you need to cauterize/stitch the wound??? Where's an army doctor and a bottle of vodka when ya need one...

            There's a lot of things wrong with me! Seriously, this really doesn't have me that bothered--I'm more annoyed than anything else!

            I think the bleeding is stopped so long as I don't take off the bandage. Gonna sleep with my hand elevated I guess. Pics coming when I can take off the bandage!

              Here's a few pics of my bandaged finger. This is the third bandage. Trust me, you did not want to see the first one!

                I cut the tip of my thumb off once, didn't feel a thing, thats why I <3 sharp knives. They doo less surrounding area damage and hurt less.

                  I have decided to call myself Joi of the Nine-and-Three-Quarters Fingers. My knife is now called Gollum. The green onions will now be referred to as "my precioussssss."

                  Oh, and the boiling lava inside Mount Doom? The tomato sauce on my stove.

                  It's epic, I tell you! EPIC!

                  (Yes, I do find this whole thing immensely amusing!)

                    You obviously have a lifestyle that is too busy.

                    Too many fingers in pies!

                        I love my coworkers. One of them brought my antibiotics, finger bandages, and Advil.

                        Oh, and I finally peeled off the lower level of bandages and got my first good look at the injury. It's less deep than I thought, but I pretty much sliced off a third of my fingernail. No wonder it frakkin' stings!

                          Ok, you sickos, here's the pics of the actual wounded finger! Also, my coworkers are awesome and bought me a finger bandage kit. It comes with tube gauze and a latex thing to protect the gauze, which my coworker has been gleefully calling the "finger condom."

                            I was picturing much worse, though.

                              Those have been caled "finger condoms" for a very long time.

                              Are you going to try to let the detached part heal back on or is that out of the question?
