Well at work today I was cutting cardboard with a utility knife. I had the blade out just a little bit to far and it broke and knife hit my thumb. Split that baby wide open. I went to the doc and ended up gettin 7 stitches/sutures. There was blood all over and i just stood there holding my thumb. I went to my boss and told her "I think i need to go get stitches."

It was definitly not the smartest thing I have ever done. I look back now and keep thinking to myself man that was dumb. I can post pics tommorow when I clean it if anyone would like too see.

Re: Some pics of the wound

well here are some pics. i needed to let it air out for a little bit because my skin was soggy around it so i thought might as well take some pics now.

As you can see it went across my knuckle sideways so I am kinda worried about when I get the stitches out, when I bend my thumb if it will open back up or how much I will be able to bend my thumb.
