Wound Care - 11th hour

Poi-sin · 18-06-2007, 01:54 PM

So... its been 11 hours and I finally got this cut to stop bleeding with layers of gauze and lots of stretchy bandage on it. At least I think it stopped bleeding... It still hurts tho.

Um, should I got get it checked? Can they do anything that I haven't for it?

is it gaping??? and seeign as it took so long to stop the bleeding i would get it checked anyway, especially if its big, coz they won't be able to stitch it for much longer. Good luck xx

I guess so... It kinda was (maybe still is) gaping. But I pulled it together for the most part.

Well I just checked it. Its stop bleeding but its not closed. The don't know if I can say it here but the um "stuff" is visable and really sore so I'ma go see if I should have anything done.

Anything that takes that long to stop bleeding, and has "stuff" visible is most likely going to need stitches, and needs to be looked at be a doc becuase of infection risk.
