Knife slipped, prolly need a couple of stitches

Cut my left thumb, just below the joint, inside about 90 min ago. Sliced in pretty good. ) shaped cut. Bleeding only stopped with a lot of pressure and now a tightly wrapped band-aid. No urgent care centers around here open now and sure am not going to an ER on Sat night. Will see how things look in the morning. Any doctors or nurses out there know if I could wait till Mon morning and go to my doctor's office? I guess prolly not, but would save me some money.

Peroxide will burn, but if you just do it initially you should be fine with sticking to fresh band aids and neosporin.

At night leave it uncovered so it gets some air and dry out.

Going to bleed if I uncover it tonight I'm afraid.

Do they sell steri strips in drug stores? Might get them tomorrow AM if they do. Nothing open here tonight.

JOAT you need need to come take care of this. :)

tough call...if it's deep, you'll be challenged to keep it from bleeding all over your bed etc during the night. Probably should have stictched it...but easy for me to say....no co pay!

ER copay is $200 + 20%. Sat night in the ER...could sit there till tomorrow anyway.

Hasn't bleed through the band-aid in last 90 min. Going to wrap and splint it so I do not bend it overnight. See what I have when I wake up.

I hate the sight of blood, especially my own!

JOAT....don't know how you do the paramedic work. I really admire you! What you guys do is just amazing.

well, you should have 18-24 hours since the cut occured to get it stitched. I had a problem with a boating accident a few months ago...ended up not needing stitches, but it was worth the ER trip.

For a Saturday night, if you are in the Charlotte area, go to the new CMS on South Tryon close to Wylie. When I had to go, there was absolutely no one there and the one near Carolina Place was ridiculous.

edit: but of course this depends if you even are close to south charlotte

    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips. 
    • I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
