Looks like you got stitched up right at home? That's handy.....!

Ouch! That hurts all the way over here. Mom was a nurse and she stitched, stapled and taped us five kids up because going to the Dr. cost MONEY[emoji848]!
Heal up well.

ouch!!!!!
get well soon.
Eat fat juicy steaks with onions and garlic and rebuild your strength!
Hand cuts are awful they bleed so much and slow to heal, reaching into a pocket will remind you so clearly!
Its a blessing that she can fix your skin and have a smaller scar.
I have found great utility from quick clot powder, can open the pouch with my teeth and pack the powder into a cut stops bleeding and forms a scab immediately.
It may be usefull to have a pouch nearby while your hand heals.
I find it in well stocked super walmarts pharmacy.

That looks like one of those deals where the fix hurts more than the injury.
It reminds me of when I banged my head once, and it hurt! It really 'rang my bell'.
Somebody asked me if I was OK.
I told 'em, "Yeah. In fact I feel a whole lot smarter now. I just learned I don't want to do that again".
On Sept 7, I had a kickback while checking a set up on my table saw. Needed 11 stitches.

In KY with no numbing meds? Surly someone has a Mason jar with clear liquids in it thereabouts?
My wife would just shake here head and exclaim that I can't do a thing without blood, mine! Then pronounced me a crybaby while she stitched it!.........I remain convinced they're ALL sisters!
Count yourself blessed, you have a great wife there!
Actually that is not a bad stitch job better than my mom did on us.
When I had my surgery on my back the MD used Superglue to hold my body together. No stitches - no staples, just Super Glue to hold me together. I have a 7.5" scar and my nurse in the hospital, when she saw my incision, exclaimed "Wow, one cut! That's beautiful!" I guess I had a great neural surgeon.
that's nasty! 2 weeks ago i chopped off about 1/4 inch of my finger straight down through the finger nail too with a splitting axe. It was a freakish clean cut, like chopping off the ends of a cucumber, blood was squirting out in jets...that ruined my day off. My wife panicked because she never saw me act like that before, holding my hand covered in blood. Sometimes i cut myself in the shop and she is the one who points it out to me, i don't realize it. These wounds happen when you do productive things sometimes...the scars are reminders to pay attention. I count my blessings, could have been worse.
Put some dirt on it and walk it off. Jokes a side, glad your okay.

You didn't wrap it in electrical tape? :Fire:
As a kid stepped on a piece of glass cut half way around the ball of my foot didn't feel a thing,went to the ER they stitched me up no local while they were stitching me up won't ever forget that pain.
I got cut at work several years ago, and they drug me kicking and screaming to the Doc-in-a-box emergency room.
The Doc. crazy glued me too.
I'd never heard of that before, so I asked about it, and they said it was a deal that came from battlefield medicine during the Gulf war.
I don't mean to make light of your accident, but

I take it your a leftie? I'm right handed, and my left hand is covered in scars! I remember how everyone of them got there as well. Glad your ok!
Sorry to hear about your injury. Hopefully it will heal quickly and hopefully it didn't throb all night.
