Nah to the Q tip They spread it and scrubbed it with small brush, then irrigated with more iodine, then cleaned that some more with gauze pad, and irrigated with something else that was cold as could be and stung..
This slice from a NINJA blade from the blender is DEEP and about a full inch long. From the tip pf the finger down to the crease of the joint. The doctor asked whether I wanted to stitch this or to seal it with derma bond glue....
I chose the glue. And the wrap to keep it together (steri strips) Doc said it would take six stitches to close it, possibly seven. a couple inside too.
I don't like stitches and having to remove them myself so I opted for the glue job... I would have used super glue gel myself if I thought it would be safe to use and not poison me... lol!!!
Anyway, the novacaine is wearing off and the adrenaline rush has ended so now it is throbbing and hurts.
What a way to start the week-end!
Hope you have a much better start to yours!
