Medic!!!! ( :( )

Last night, I was talking on the phone and screwing with some Rail Road ties, and managed to get 2 splinters under the fingernail of my index finger. Yes.....it hurts. I belive I got 1 out, and I had to dig for the other one useing a needle. I got most of it out, but blood started obstructing my view, so I had to stop the search for the rest of the splinter. Also, the pain was causeing my vission to be reduced. I soaked my finger in rubbing alcohol for a while, and called it good. WELL, in the past I have injured myself in just about every way, but I have never had this happen. My Mom and Dad were saying that its gonna get infected. I had a dream last night that my arm fell off. Now then.....The finger is not swollen to bad, but it hurts a little bit still. Not sure if the pain is from my wild digging into it with a needle, or because there may be a little peice of wood still in there. SO, some questions:
If there is still a peice of wood in there, will it come closer to the surface, or come out on its own?
Will it become infected and cause parts of my body to fall off?
Will I die?


Thanks.

 

Well, She was looking at me when I was trying to dig the splinter out. After I started to bleed pretty good, she THEN asked if she could "Help". I just looked at her as I didnt quite know if she just wanted to make me bleed more.

 

I can handle the pain. Not sure if Im brave enough to intensionally use a torch on one of my body parts, though.

Well....I guess we'll see. If I die from a fucking splinter, Im gonna be pissed.

 

That Sum-O-Bitch!!!!


I was kinda wondering why he hasnt responded yet, but I guess he's trying to fill his engine oil thru the gas tank......

 

when I was speed reading through your post, for some reason I got it in my head that you were using a cut off wheel on a Dremel to clean it out.

Soaking your finger in alcohol was a good idea. Keep an eye out for puss and inflammation. If you don't get either one of those, just relax and start washing your hands after you go to the bathroom. I bet the splinter will grow out with your fingernail. You could probably cut the fingernail pretty short over the next few days and that might help speed it out.

 

This really sucks........this is the finger I mainly use to pick my nose.

 

Thanks, Robert. I alreasdy cut the nail pretty close, and did some morning surgery with a knife to get some fresh blood flowing. Im gonna do another alcohol soak in a min.

 

Dieing while takeing a nap is no biggie........I think.....

Damit. I dont want to go to the fucking Dr. for a splinter! Fuck that.
