Stitches? *GRAPHIC WARNING*

A week ago today I cut myself pretty bad using a knife to clean off a car part, I was bleeding like crazy, the cut was super deep, probably 3 inches long too. I went to the ER and got it fixed up and cleaned out. The Doctor on call told me it would heal just fine on it's own so I wouldn't need stitches.

 

So.. 7 days later and the cut is yet to heal or scab, should I go back and get it stitched up?

Stitches or liquid band aid to close it up would help. Bending it would break it open though. I had a few stitches in my knee once and ended up in a leg brace after the busted and had to be redone.

I used liquid band aid and it just made it worse. When I bend my finger it just tears it open even more and something has to be keeping it from healing. I think I'll just take a trip to the hospital in a few hours and get it stitched up.

Use butterfly enclosures, about 4-5 should cover it and keep it cleaned and triple antibiotic ointment. Doesn't look deep enough for stitches, but it's on a highly movable part so that it helping keeping it open. It still will close up, but will leave nasty scar if you don't consciously bend that finger less and use something to help close it.

They do also make flexible band aids for fingers, but the buttterfly enclosures work better because they allow it to dry out and heal.

use medical tap with 2 popsicle sticks to brace the finger and keep it from moving, and lightly bandage, it's not deep enough for stitches, and any movement at all will slow the healing process down

That is pretty much exactly what I'm doing right now, trying my best to get the damn cut to close.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
