almost cut my finger off

[JDawg1536]

i was chopping onions with a super sharp knife and came down on my thumb in the middle of the nail. i started sweating like mad and gushing blood..... never had feelings of fainting before but i think i was as close as you can get. i wrapped it and held pressure for a while. once my head cleared and i stopped sweating i administered some self aid. cleaned the wound and wrapped it up now im sitting here with a whole roll of gauze around my thumb. thats why i dont cook.

Sounds nasty

[Hazard]

holy chit..... so it cut through the nail!? your damned lucky you hit there and not at your thumb joint lol.....

My father went to recap a 23g needle, missed the cap, and the needle went under his thumb nail.....

~Haz~

[JDawg1536]

yeah, if i didnt hit nail it could have been bad i bet. the nail is still stuck to the skin though. i tried to pull it off but didnt wanna rip part of my thumb off so i left it on for now.

[Hazard]

yeah - i'd let it fall off on it's own. I'll give you the "Big set of balls" award if you rip it off now tho..... LMAO

~Haz~

[spywizard]

no pic's <<<?? disappointed.

but happy that you were not maimed for life..

[JDawg1536]

thanks man. me too. adrenaline flow was crazy. i was holding on to the sink with both hands while my knees were buckling and legs were going crazy like forest gump walking with leg braces. crazy feeling man.

I had the same feeling of sweating and being ready to faint all three times I almost cut my finger off. I felt crazy.

First time I was using a pocket knife as a screwdriver and it slammed shut on my pinky

second time a twig got stuck in my bush hedger and when I went to pull it out my thumb went into the blade

third time I was cutting a piece if chainlink with a dull pair of sheetmetal cutters and when it finally snapped through the fence my finger went inbetween the blades. Glad it was dull. It cut to the bone on one side and through part if the nail.


I couldn't imagine if you hit the joint. That would take forever to heal.

i nearly cut the top inside of my litlle finger off a few weeks ago,,,took ages to heal! still feels tender now...unreal how much blood came out!,,,,tho i didnt get faint at all, i was just amazed at all the blood!

[Bossman]

There's a lot of nerve endings in your fingers, always sucks to hurt them. I've hit my thumb with a hammer, had my fingers slammed in doors, cut my thumb with a utility knife once. The most painful was throwing down some 100+ dumbbells after bench and smashing a finger between another dumbbell my training partner left too close to my bench. That ended a perfectly good workout.


Good thing is they seem to heal fairly quick.

Real lucky you hit the nail.


stick to microwave meals for a while

I couldnt even read this thread It mad me cringe. Are you going to get stitches?

[cobra305]

I had that same feeling when I cut 9 tendons 2 nerves and 1 artery in my wrist (accidentally) it is pretty shitty. The last thing you want to do is pass out because you saw some blood it would be embarassing

[cobra305]

Also you may want to go to a doctor or clean the shit out of it and keep it as sterile as possible.

the blood doesn't bother me at all.... i think it was the fact that i thought i was gonna lose my thumb..... i dunno.

i dunno... i think im gonna keep it wrapped tight and see how it goes. the doctor and stitches are a littl eout of my budget right now so thats last resort.

ugh for you and anyone else here who doesn't know how to chop or dice...the KNIFE TIP SHOULD NEVER LEAVE THE CUTTING BOARD. The end towards the handle goes up and down pivoting on the tip of the blade.
