Thread: Cut of the Day

ROUGHKYPE nominated these pictures I posted under a seperate thread yesterday. He thought they would appropriately fit under this category. The wound was NOT a result of "shaving" but a shaving-related task; I was checking the edge of a razor after honing. I was using an eye loupe, which I now painfully realize may not be the best choice. Cheap attempt at humor, forgive me.
ANYWAY... the loupe fell from my eye and when I reached to catch it with my free hand I found the razor's edge with my pinky finger instead. Just to clarify, reaching for the falling eye loupe was stricly an invlountary reaction!
The pictures are out of focus, they were taken with my cell phone, in the emergency room. I almost never use camera on my phone and the staff weren't exactly there for a photo shoot. They did find the details leading up to the injury funny though.
Someone suggested pictures of the sutures also but the wound site is currently wrapped. I will get in-focus pics this afternoon to add to these. For now enjoy...





Much better focus this time! Is it me or does it look like the cut is not very smooth? To me, it looks rather jagged. It was an extremely clean cut and burned/hurt worse than any cut I have ever had previously! It should make a memorable scar. Enjoy. I am told it doesn't count unless there were at least 10 stitches so I gues this one only counts as a scratch.
