Have you ever actually stabbed, not sliced, your hand? I was cutting potatoes up last night at the restaurant, and the steak knife (I have a bad habit of using steak knives for everything) slipped, and went horizontally into the fleshy past of my palm--about 1/4". It didn't hurt--but it felt weird--just like when you poke a knife or fork into the fleshy area of chicken breast to test to see if it's done. And it did bleed for a 45 minutes. They wanted to take me to the ER, but I thought I was ok. And no, I managed to save the potato--no blood on it!
The cut keeps opening up over 24 hours later. DH says that they don't suture that part of your hand, but the cut starts to heal, then opens up over and over again. Is he correct?
The day before, I cut one of my fingers on that hand with a steak knife.
I need to stay away from serrated edges!!!
The title should read "STITCHES". Sorry!
