while clasping my hands behind my back, swaying side to side and abashedly averting my gaze down at the floor - I say - "always unplug shop/kitchen power tools when changing the blade or cleaning them."

wear gloves if you decide to be a criminal, that fingerprint will be easy to match up!!!

Hope it heals quickly.

Not true gf's mum works in forensics they can pull finger prints from latex gloves these days you need to use something like mechanics gloves.

On anther note good to see the finger is on the mend. What have we learnt?

[deutschman]

The finger is doing really well. It is definitely going to look narly after it is all healed up.


It is definitely good to go for the m20 swap this Sunday! My mom gave me this Chinese herbal powder that helps close wounds up and it really did a great job! It is called Yunnan Baiyao. I really recommend it for cuts of any size. Supposedly Chinese soldiers used it on gun shot wounds in WWII. You can get it on Amazon and many other places.

Yunnan Baiyao was invented in 1902 by Dr. Qu Huanzhang in Yunnan, China. Over the past 100 years, Yunnan Baiyao made its name in the fierce battle grounds of Chinese fighting against Japanese invasion in World War II and of the Vietcong fighting against USA during the Vietnam War by saving soldiers' lives from severe wounds.

In China, Yunnan Baiyao may be used as first-aid for any kind of traumatic injury or internal bleeding, whether one has a small cut, bruise, swelling, a serious wound from gun shots, an internal injury from car accidents or fighting, or bleeding from surgery and stomach ulcers etc.† One may simply pour the Yunnan Baiyao power on to the cut and/or swallow the power.

In the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) terms, Yunnan Baiyao stops bleeding, disperses blood stasis, activates blood circulation, alleviates pain, clears away toxins, and reduce swelling.† In studies, Yunnan Baiyao is shown to shorten the bleeding time and clotting time and reduce inflammatory response.

I took a jigsaw to my left index finger about a week ago. Healing up pretty good so far. Just keep it clean

that depends on how deep the cut is an if you get stitches or not.

i cut my right pointer finger almost to the bone when i was 14 and did not get it stitched up. i am 40 now and there is still a line through the finger print at the tip of the finger.

Haha.
I think the finger print will return to exactly how it was before. Human bio ftw.

[Nick325is]

At least you didn't chop the tip off...

I know someone who put their hand in a real blender and lost the tip of their finger... genius person...

I lost the tips of two of my fingers on my right hand in a commercial meat slicer at work a few years ago. I still have no real feeling in the end of those two fingers.

OP nice job on cleaning it up and wrapping up the wound. Keep it clean and you'll be healed up in a few weeks/ months.

[quote=deutschman;3061590]Really really good home made Cesar dressing! My girl friend still ate the salad after I almost lost my finger tip making it. lol

Hahaha nice. Yeah it was probably worth it

[deutschman]

Ouch. It fuckin sucks that knowing that isnt that bad but still hurts like a bitch. And how come nobody asked what kind of dressing it was? We have to know if it was worth fucking your finger over it...

nice job wrapping it..

you did the right thing washing it out, tap water works just as well as sterile saline/water to prevent infection, the most important thing is water pressure so it reaches back into the recesses of the wound.

doesn't look too bad though, not stitch-worthy. Watch that middle piece with cuts around it to make sure it has blood flow; it looks like it should heal but if the tissue dies you should get it checked out.

in the ER we would do basically exactly what you did: irrigate w/ water, rinse a little with hibaclens (gentle antiseptic), check for sensation (can you feel the tip of your finger?) check for movement (can you move the distal joint?), wrap it w/ sufficient pressure to keep the wound closed but not tight enough to cut off circulation, give you a tetanus shot and discharge home. if you've had a tetanus booster within 5 years you're good..

My mom is a nurse/midwife and has sowed my brother and I up so many times. I always call her and ask what I should do. I added a little finger splint to the finger to keep it from flexing to much and opening back up again. I'm going to have her check it out and re wrap it for me today.
