You can bleed to death from simple accidents around the house. Buy some CAT tourniquets from North American Rescue (they have an Amazon store, anyone else on Amazon should be avoided since they are likely knock offs). Have them along with some wound packing gauze around the house/car and learn how to use them. Find a stop the bleed class and go with some friends. Glad you’re still with us nostr:nprofile1qqsdxpmyx4rhqdfhml00sywrm65k78u7snyzf83qqdf5ykfy4xgge7qpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qz8mhwden5te0dehhxarj9ejkjmn4dej85ampdeaxjeewwdcxzcm9pmhjes !!! Prayers for a solid recovery and getting back to your adventures.
i gave myself a good bleedy cut about a year ago with my tanto messing around being stupid. fortunately wasn't a big vein but it was big enough that i was starting to go into shock before i had it fully tightly wrapped.
gotta be careful with the knives. probably wise to avoid fooling around after some wine.
yeah, actually, after that incident i made sure i had gauze and multiple bandages precisely for this kind of thing because it took me a little while to figure out how to stop the bleeding. i think i ended up destroying a shirt or something. at first i was just clamping my hand over it and running around frantically trying to figure out what to do.
oh yeah, haha. i think there was some plastic involved as well. and i immediately made a trek down to the nearest pharmacy for proper bandages and then cleaned, sterilised and dressed it properly.
the pharmacists were watching me with mommy eyes.
💯 knives and wine are both wonderful things, probably best enjoyed sepeately😂.
yea definitely. the funny part is we were all completely sober just cleaning up to get a good nights sleep 😂
well, on a rare occasion, i was just trying to do something practical. well, in an impractical way. thus the slip and the slash. i wasn't drunk either. so don't go thinking that alcohol is the source of all knife wounds. because it's about equal chance i think, if you have practised the knifery.
definitely. i sliced the tip of my finger off last year, and I have pretty good discipline in safe cutting practices from working at restaurants
idk maybe i need to stick to baby food and spoons
i also have had bad bleeds on previous occasions and this wasn't nearly as bad.
the worst one i was high on shrooms and fell on a broken thing that had been repaired. no, i was stone cold sober at the time. i stopped the bleeding and sought further more secure bandaging and i was ok. but i had NOTHING in the house to treat it.
i bought many things on the visit to teh pharmacy to ensure i had future measures. they sit under the sink now should i make a mess again but the experience made me a lot more cautious.
i was alone, if i had not stopped the bleeding i could have bled out. it was no joke.
