That let me finish cutting the project---which I was determined to do that day! It obviously did stop bleeding (actually pretty fast) and the pressure from the duct tape was great for it! I unwrapped it that night (happened about lunchtime) and put a bandaid on it---it was already holding itself back together. I treated it very gently for the next couple of days so it didn't pop back open and then it was fine....

I never thought to worry about my feet but now I will! My sister cut the side of her left forefinger off and two weeks later my best friend cut herself the very some way. Yikes!!!
|

|
Oh my goodness!! That sounds awful, knock on wood, I haven't had a mishap yet -- hope this doesn't interfer with your sewing too much - mend soon.
|
I hold my breathe every time I start with the cutter. Been
blessed so far. |
I bought a pair today. A day late and a finger short!
|
Thanks for the info. I had my daughter , the nurse rewrap it this morning. We used neosporin, and peroxide. So far no infection. And i am up to date on my Tetenus shot, thankfully. We'll change the bandage everyday.
|
Ladies I'm going out to buy a glove tomorrow !!! Prayers for quick healing and please don't do that anymore !!!
|
Sorry to hear about your finger. But know what you are going through, didn't lose my finger tip but cut the side of the pointing finger in a U shape and it took a long to heal. Still have a scare.
|
I am very sorry to hear about all the mishaps. I have the suction handles and fish filet mesh gloves. Get well soon.
