wolven7So, tonight, I cut myself, again. On a WALL!
i was carrying laundry to the dryer, and i bumped into this low wall, next to the washers, which, incidentally, happens to be Reinforced with METAL STRIPS. Which, of course, aren't padded or covered, or anything. Just painted over. And some of the paint was chipping. On the corner into which i ran. Took off a 3-4 inch strip of skin, and took about 2 full minutes before it started bleeding. I could see my dermal layer.
So i came home-- after stuffing all the clothes in dryer, going into the laundry room rest room, and using the hot water (only spout that worked) and the toilet tissue (no paper towels) to clean the thing, as best i could-- and I washed, rinsed, alcoholed, and wrapped the gouge in paper towels and Duct tape. Now i have That piece of ad hoc medical mastery, wrapped around my arm, hopefully keeping this thing clean, and the air out of it.
I'm eating Protien, now, to aid in the healing process. *sigh* I'm out.
At least my laundry's done.
