Oh I know how you feel. I dropped a pair of sharp pointed scissors and they landed point first (of course) gaashing my foot. I grabbed at the only things in the room that I had to stop the bleeding while I drove to the ER for 18 deep to surface stitches. Everyone there got a big laugh! I had a maxi pad to absorb the blood held tightly in place by duct tape wrapped around my foot. The doc laughed, but gave me credit for creative use of both items. They took photos when they stopped laughing and sent them to the tape manufacturer. I ended up with a complimentary box of a dozen rolls of duct tape, and am remembered by everyone in the ER. You'll not make the same mistake again hopefully.
