I need to stop getting drunk and taking dares...

id have stitched you up if i was there. i can tell from the pic how deep it was, lol! all you can do is keep it clean and closed. comfrey would be good over it, if you can keep it closed with something. that is a plant i have to start growing myself. it helps the flesh knit back together.
you should try to figure out why you are afraid of needles. i might just be weird, but i find the body fascinating. ive actually re-pierced my belly button multiple times for the practice.

lets face it, you could end up in a situation like this guy, where you get over it, or die. i don't think anyone should be afraid of first aid, and needles are a part of that. the local pain can be dealt with, you can always take a swig of hard liquor to steady you, but sometimes action is vital.
just try not to fall down for awhile. watch out for stairs and open manhole covers. take care not to slip in tub.

 

did somebody poke your leg a million times with a needle in that last pic ? and then just said fuck it and started jabbing at it with a knife

 

hahaha no its marks from the gauze i had wrapped around it.

 

HAha. I had bruises like that back in the day when I drove around the summer on my bike and took a spill once while smashed.

I'm glad you're okay. Please be more careful.

 

stick to the green. my friend got drunk and passed out with no shoes, no ipod and no wallet in a place he doesn't remember going to. No matter how much green you smoke you won't lose your shoes or fuck up your knee. rest up and toke the green =]

 

wow that last one >.<

im about to start college next week lmao

 

actually everyone in my freshman year class had to take an alchohol lecture program thing online, it was like 3 hours long >.<

 

^don't those suck ass? i had to do it twice because of probation

 

haha now i can only picture sara running across the fountain like the red power ranger

 

Hahahah that power rangers thing.

I did kinda run like that. Not that gay, but kinda like that haha

 

You should have got stitches.

 

You think? I thought the same thing, and so did my friend when he saw it. My mom said it should be okay.. I put a bandaid on it tight to try to hold it together, and put gauze around it, too. It looks so gross now. haha

 

Yeah, I would have. Thing is, the skin is split so far apart. Looks like you could have easily had 3 stitches.

 

It's all good Sara, we all do something dumb when we're drunk at some point. Live and learn it's the human way.

 

well at least you dont do anything dumb

 

Ugh! I know. I duno what to donow. I have to take off the gauze and band aid and let it air out for awhile. I can see tissue tryig to grab onto the other side of the skin to close (at least thats what i think it is) bu without this bandaid and gauze it is split oupen.

 

do you have any medical tape? just cut some long narrow strips and tape that sucker closed with spaces in between each piece, then use more tape to anchor the strips in the opposite direction.

thats why butterflies are shaped that way, even when they are next to each other they have air spaces in between. what you are seeing is indeed the flesh knitting back together (super cool to watch) but if you dont keep it closed then it will heal in a gaping scar pattern, like a pock mark gone horribly wrong.
please get some butterfly stitches or get it stitched up. it really does need it. but you should only air out the outside, you know? you have to keep it together, and under at least light compression.

 

. I know.. you have to lift your legs high when running in water..

 

awww fuck you got to my error before I could
