It was on purpose this time though.( that doesn't sound right does it
)
I pinched my thumb really bad adjusting the tines on a herra ( not sure how thats spelled, its a peice of equipment I use to work up the ground in my riding arena) Any how somehow it didn't break the skin and was bleeding like crazy underneath. Didn't realize that though (to busy standing outside in the dark yelling expletives for all the neighbors to hear) until it had swelled out to a huge purple welt that stuck out from my thumb about a quarter of an inch. So I decided to play doctor and cut it open so it could bleed and let the pressure off. Used a 750s as my scalpel. I think I'd want something a little bigger if I was going to be performing surgery all the time but it worked for a one time deal
My mom found out after the fact and said she was going to puke. I had to laugh at that cause she didn't even see the blood spray everywhere when I cut it. Now she thinks my thumb is going to fall off.
So this made me decide that its not always a bad thing to cut yourself. I think we should all go a step further at being prepared for anything and carry a knife thats only for operating on ourselves.
Ok not really, but I'm bored and it would an excuse to buy more knives right

It'll feel better when it stops hurting.
