Chopped my finger up

    So this morning while making my lunch I decided to cut my finger up pretty bad with a new Chicago Cutlery knife. Damn did that hurt! I really should have went to the hospital, but I have a big day today, so 5 scooby doo band-aids later I am at the office.

    You never really notice how much you use the tip of you index finger until you are one finger short on the keyboard.

    Moral of the story? Dont use a 12" razor sharp knife to open a package of ham.


    Anyone have any home remidies to get my finger back in action ASAP?

    I also ordered a new guitar amp, a crate half stack. Better have the old finger puppet up and running when that gets here.

    Unless I keep my finger over head it hurts like a "B". I am really hating this day.

    No, I did that last year falling down a flight of stairs. Didn't walk much for 6 months. Still wobble around like an old man most of the time.

    Should my finger small like death already? I can see the light.

    Its not good for your finger, but it will make it feel "less bad"----electrical tape for the rest of the afternoon.

    my buddies are in the trades and swear by that. I am more refined and prefer my scooby doo band-aids.

    Thanks for the tip

    This is going to sound odd, but, superglue. anytime I cut myself I superglue over it and it heals really quickly and allows me to use the finger.

    Not odd at all, I've used that method as well depending on how deep the cut is. Glad someone else suggested it, was tempted to but thought I'd be looked at as an idiot :D

    Yes, yes.. and old musician trick. Do you think there is any advantage to allowing air into the cut. I have feelings both ways.

    hrblcantra, maybe you could glue you foot in place.

    Superglue doesn't work. I cut my arm off and superglued it back on. Now it just dangles.

    They should change WI's motto to "Home of the drunken accident"

    It'd not only describes what happens to most people on the weekend, but also to most of the population. :D

    although the classic haiku doesn't deal with topics of pain, here is one about body waxing:

    Hot searing pain, rip
    Hairs from my legs, once monthly
    Ceiling tiles look peaceful.

    Why can't I recall
    How much this hurt me last month
    Leg and bikini wax, please.

    Dear God kill me now
    Agony! Pain! Excruciating! Evil!
    Visualize beach.

    Wax is on my feet
    Should have taken Tylenol
    Rip rip rip rip rip

    Red bumps all over
    Sticky legs and corduroy
    Fifty-five dollars.

    Bollywood Salon
    I write a check once monthly
    Thanks for being great!


    Tips on dealing with pain are also welcomed along with medical tips.
