Good thing you said that it was the back of your knee. If you hadn't...

Local helps, but not much in the fingertips where you have the highest nerve ending density.
Stitches hurt bad.

Fun. When I think of all the cuts I've had that I should have had stitches for... oh man. The nurse
in the ER where I got my face stitched up last fall actually saw one scar and said "You should have
been in here when you did that one - that would have been at least 6 stitches". So what if it kind
of bled for 2 or 3 days?

Heal up quick!

Hmm. I've already had someone else say that. They said it when they saw the little pic on the
digital camera from a distance :-)

I've had stitches here and there before. I've even (without trying to sound Rambo-esque) whacked in
a couple on similar hole in my arm without anesthetic by myself once before. Again, it was easier to
do that then than travel a long way to a Doctor. Maybe the back of the knee is just a tender spot? I
was impressed with how much it stung. Fingertips sound unpleasant when you put it that way too.

Wouldn't bleeding for two or three days be enough of a sign to do something about it???

it just kept breaking open, was in a bad spot on the leg that flexed a lot. I put some butterfly
bandages across it 🙂

Hehe, BTDT. I put a gash in the top of my head at the weekend that could have done with a couple of
stitches, but I'm just going to let it heal by itself. Alas, the scar will remain covered.

I just don't bother going to hospital now unless it's something really serious, and fortunately
(touch wood), that hasn't been for the last 8 years.

Ah. I see. Mine is a bit like that. You almost feel like not worrying about it. In fact, if we
hadn't been going past the surgery on the way home I probably wouldn't have bother getting stitches
as it was such a long way to A&E for a relatively minor wound.

Yeah... I sliced across two of my fingers with a knife I had just sharpened. Two in one finger, one
on the other. It was such a sharp knife and such a clean cut, I wasn't sure if I had actually cut
myself until I saw the blood.

If you don't come home injured, your not doing it right.
