long story short...

[slumber]

i cut my finger on a can of soup (campbell settlement, here i come!) and had to get stitches in the ER in the middle of the night, in my flaming pink hello kitty pajamas, and now my finger is all dressed up so i either look like i'm perpetually giving someone the finger OR i bought the newest attachable toy from babeland.

happy chinese new year, folks.

How many stitches did you get?

*pets you*

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Oh, and three. The doctor was being all "Seventeen" and I was like, "Dude. No way seventeen stitches could fit my finger!"

i love your concern! D:

:P thanks. my finger's still numb and i'm hoping it remains that way; it's supposed to start hurting like a bitch when the anesthesia wears off and since i'm such a wuss with pain, i started believing in the power of advil and took two this morning. so far so good, i think.

I once sliced my thumb open (the back side, not the palm side) trying to open a package with a pocketknife :| it necessitated four stitches and crazy bandaging and it was centimeters away from being bone-deep.

My point is! After the numbness wore off, it didn't hurt at all, until they took the stitches out, and I have really really low pain tolerance. So you should be okay, pain-wise.


The only downside to that is that it has been three-odd years and I still have a pretty obvious scar. But I'm okay with that. So!

That's sort of likely what my cut is like too, I think. So they don't give you anesthesia when they take the stitches out? :| I kinda wish the stitches would dissolve into my skin like some do, haha. Oh god. :| I'm a wimp too. :\

Ooh, I think a scar would be kinda cool. Except every time people ask me what happened to it I'd have to go back to telling them it was from opening a can of soup. :|

I was in California when they took the stitches out (several days after they recommended I get rid of them), and it was at this weird backwater clinic that covered everything from birth control/abortions to broken bones, instead of a proper hospital. So I wouldn't rely to heavily on my stitch removal experience.

Dissolving stitches would have been the best.

Aha! Awesome. :D I think I'm gonna go consult my dad on this to be sure. Or, like, you know, my twenty million other relatives who're all in health care one way or another. :|

Totally. :|

(Also, thanks so much for the assurances! I really dislike the thought of anticipated pain a lot, so. :| I feel much less iffy about the sitch of the stitch. :D)

Well, hopefully the wound closes v. v. soon!
And I've had teeny stitches before...the pain level really depends on which body part it is IMO. Finger shouldn't be as painful as smth on the face. *crosses fingers for you*

I hope so too, thanks!

It's not really hurting so much as throbbing so I guess that's good? I don't know. Oh well. :| :P

[ness-va.livejournal.com]

Yikes! How long do you have to keep it on?

[slumber.livejournal.com]

I'm supposed to have them check it on Thursday morning and then it can be on for 3 to 15 days, I think?

[illuminations.livejournal.com]
