cuts on fingers/hands, even deep ones, don't hurt much once you teach yourself how to ignore them, the trick is to realize that they can't hurt above a specific threshold. It's similar to picking nettles with your bare hands. In this sense headaches, toothaches, certain neuralgies and joint pains are worse.


I once cut off the tip of my pinky while slicing a zucchini. It took a while to find it among the zucchini and all the blood, because counterintuitively it was pure white. It was maybe a third of an inch in diameter. I bandaged it back to the finger and it grafted, but really shrunk in size and failed to regrow vessels, so it's always paler now, and the fingerprint pattern is turned 90 degrees

^^^ lol … love it

… didn’t even bother to line it up right

.. you’re tough lady

Yeah Tatiana that is funny story. I get the whole mind game thing. I thought about sticking that chunk back in hole taping it in. I'm literally a mile from two major hospitals. So was no point in me putting myself together. I even opened the trap put that piece in ziplock bag. Never figured Doc would try plug it back in. Just figured be better idea of what was gone. Doctor ask if I wanted to save it for my skin collection. Other wise he was going to toss it in trash. That is when I remembered to save for dogs.

Bandaid or two woulda sufficed. No way im paying a hospital visit for a smashed finger lol.

Your penance for angering the trapping gods with those pink DPs

Like biting the inside of your mouth its more likely after its swelled up from the first time to do it a 2nd. And it hurts worse the 2nd time.

Probably more clumsy with a sore thumb with less control. May be more likely to smack it again. If not in a trap on any number of other things even if its just reflexes grabing things.


I sliced my right index finger about 1/3 through on a glass bottle i was digging out of a fire. Still have loss of feeling and heard nerve sensation to touch. Smacked and pulled on that thing many time when it was still healing up out of reflexes and not thinking.

No doc just some antibacterial ointment wrapped in toilet paper and medical tape.
