Ohh, please be careful! I don't like to go to the ER either but if it's still bleeding after too long please do go, or call your doctor and see if you can stop in. If there's nothing else to be done they can at least put stuff on the wound to make it stop bleeding and help sort of seal it up so you're less likely to get an infection.
My thumb is throbbing today too, I gave myself a steam burn at lunch time. Sigh. Hands are so useful, but also so fragile!!
