Open Question: BAD CUT through two toes questions?
Posted by adminJul 22
i was building a cute cupcake stand for my son’s first birthday (it looks like presents stacked up. 3 layers…but anyway! haha) i was on the floor cutting through the box with the edge of my scissors, using my right food (no shoes..UGH!!!) to hold it in place. it was sliding through slowly until it hit a soft spot in the box and slid right through two of my toes!! the 3rd and 4th toe…i didn’t feel a thing, i just watched it happen and was like OH! SHIT! and it took a few seconds to start bleeding..and it bled a lot until i applied pressure to it. once it stopped bleeding i cleaned it and bandaged it up. the 3rd toe had the tip, just under my nail, cut almost clean off..it’s hanging on by a little bit. i have the skin laid back in place and covered tightly with a bandage. the 4th toe got a pretty deep gash through it, but after having a bandage on it tightly, it looks like it will heal nicely. it doesn’t hurt at all. the other toe, however, may not be so lucky…i thought it would be fine at first because it didn’t hurt much (all i felt was throbbing) but i hit my toes on the bottom of the table and it started bleeding everywhere again :[ is it going to have to come off to heal or do you think it will stay on if i take more care to keep it safe, clean, and bandaged??? maybe it should have gotten stitches, but i dont have any money to do that..*sigh* i dont really want to put super glue on it either like i’ve been hearing. and i dont want an infection.. i’ll tell you what it looks like- you can barely tell it’s cut because it is laying right back where it was, but it is slightly white. i think that is just because it has been in the bandage for 24 hours before i changed it (i’ve had small cuts that turn white from being too moist in the bandaid so i figure it’s the same) am i right? or is it dead and a total loss?? if i lost it, it would pretty much look like a dent in my toe..which i guess isn’t all that bad because it’s just a toe…but uhm..yahhh, i would like to still have it anyway haha would it grow back if i did lose the skin??? is that a dumb question? anyway..i’m just rambling on and on..please set my mind at ease. is my poor toe ok??
