      Your right that's not the way you want to start out your Day just do your best to keep it clean I broke my ankle out in Iowa 80 truck stop and drove all the way home in Maryland before I had it looked at the cast lasted one day because I couldn't push the clutch pedal in if I had to do it all over again I'd just stay home and relax. I still enjoy your channel thank again for sharing

    Wow, that was a wicked looking cut! Enjoyed seeing Opie again even at home. Hopefully, he gets to travel with you on a future trip. The flooded fields, yards and roads were awful in Correctionville. I can't imagine what the towns people are going through. Be careful out there!

    + Please , if you feel or notice any minimal swelling or pain ; you have to go back to the clinic right away to have it re-opened and re-disinfected with a lot less stitches and a prescription drug anti biotic , it’s serious . Hopefully it was cleaned throughly before stitching …

    I had thought there was a possibility of injury doing a job like trucking. Many long hours. Many miles. Weather and road condition and other drivers = Stress. In this case, a mower.

    I got a cut like that when I was 13, on the beach cutting a piece of wood with my knife, a cut like that over my first finger knuckle, the skin opened up and the knuckle bone sticking right out. I went up to the house. Cleaned it best I could, held hand in open position so the skin would come together. Got out the sewing kit and gave myself 3 stitches, wrapped it up with my boxing wraps. still have a nice little scar. Grew up an Alaskan Kid.

    Kurt, go to Harbor Freight and get you a package of (string knit white cotton gloves) you can cut the fingertips off. It will allow your hand to get air and keeps it clean.

    Ouch. Neosporin caused me a reaction. It’s harsher to dermatologist said. Doc recommended polysporin. Not sure if they make it anymore. Just keep it dry and bandaged and keep an eye on it. I Just lost a good friend of over 50 years to sepsis.

    Reminds me when I cut my left index finger open on the knuckle. I could see inside my finger. I felt fortunate though it was just my finger and it could be stitched up. There was a guy in the next area over in the ER who cut his leg open deeply. I wasn't the priority that day. OH, you ended up with the same amount of stitches as I did. I was fun for two weeks taking a shower and washing until I got the stitches out. Baggy when I showered to keep it dry worked great. I put Neurosporin on that finger a day or two before the stitches came out and it was not painful at all. Worst part was starting to use that finger again. It was straight for so long that it didn't want to bend. Took a while but I can use it fully. Praying for complete healing and no long term consiquences. Things happen and glad it wasn't worse.

    @trapnut 20 днів тому +1

    Sorry to hear about you slicing up your hand Kurt. Glad you didn’t take out anything important. A bit of ice and some of the new Neosporin with pain relief works great for 3 or 4 days. Tylenol works well too.

  • @rmsquare
    @rmsquare 21 день тому

    Please please take care. Early stages maybe just lightly immobilize. If there is swelling try ice pack using an ice pack bag, or baggie wrapped in cloth napkin or frozen peas, corn also wrapped in thin cloth layer. Veges are reusable refreeze but not for consumption.

    That bandage wrap? Go to any farm store (Farm and Fleet, etc) and go in the horse aisle and get "Vet Wrap". It's 1/6 the price of any pharmacy and homes in like 10 colors. It's under two bucks for a big roll.

    45 years ago I put my right hand through a window, it's a long story, I had over 100 stiches. The cut zig zagged across my fingers and my hand. I was a cashier at the time and punching that old school register was not fun. It hurt, it throbbed, and it made sure I would not touch another window with wet hands ever again. Keep it high, lift it above you when you sleep. Keep it clean and change those bandages often. That doctor deserves a cookie, those are some really neat stitches! Take care and if you go past Ottumwa tell it hi from T in Texas.
