Yes you should go.
What colour was the blood? Bright red, or with a more blue tinge.
But go. To the hospital. Now.
Even if you haven't hit an artery, a cut that deep will need immediate attention.
No, it is not ok to leave until the morning.
You are not stupid, we all make mistakes.

Find someone to watch your little sister while you seek medical help.

I've had this happen before, it may have been a vein or something, but you do need to get medical attention.

Well done for going to the hospital. I hope you are okay now.

Yeah you hit an arteriole. If it stopped bleeding you should be ok but the wound will usually need treatment such as stitches. Just for future refrence an alll. well done on getting it seen to.

It was brave of you to go to the hospital; I know it can be scary sometimes. Also, it is good to know you are okay! If you don't mind my asking, what did you end up doing with your sister?

Take care!
*hugs*

My_Name_Is_Aiden · 15-08-2009, 03:19 PM

thanks for all the support guys,
hospital was kinda scary and painful cos of the stitches
but im really glad you told me to go.
i ended up leaving my sister sleeping and not telling her i was leaving the house. she is an adult, not a child, but she has bad anxiety issues and doesnt like it when i leave her alone unexpectedly.
she didnt find out though so its okay.
i didnt really have a choice. i dont know anyone in this town who could have stayed with her.
im just glad its all over now.
