Needless to say it hurt like a mother*#%$@! and I let out a yell that tarzan would be proud of. Grabbing my wrist I calmly I tell my wife who came running into the kitchen that we need to go to the hospital and to slowly slide the knife out and to put pressure to the non cutting knife edge so it doesnt cut me any more on the way out. She did it no problem and surprisingly there was not much blood, just a slow steady oozing. I applied pressure and was able to just about stop the bleeding. At taped it together and rather than pay $$$$ for the emergency room going to wait till morning and go to the doctor. But if the bleeding (it bled most of the night but very little about maybe a tissue full every once in a while a drop forms and the runs down my hand) has stopped by morning then screw it I'll let it heal on its own. ---Update 7am bleeding has stopped for the most part though cut it self is moist and not scabbed over, im letting it air dry since the bandaids kept it moist all night letting the bleeding to continue. I will let it air dry till 10am, if it doesnt complety dry up then yeah to the doctor for stitches. But it has been drying now for an hour and it looks good.
The good news-- I was stabbed by a complety clean knife and my hands were soapy so thats good, 2nd the knife didnt hit anything only muscle-- my hand functions fine. 3rd I applied a very strong antibacterial to the wound itself (bactoban) and I took a general antibiotic (Doxycycline) which I will stay on a for a week.
Enjoy the photo.
