'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It still stings like hell, and the whole hand kinda hurts. Is that normal?
Yep.
When I sliced open my hand in '01, it hurt like hell for a really long time, and I think the spot I opened wasn't far from the spot you just sliced.
(Mine *was* a fairly deep knife wound that left an icky scar, but palm wounds tend to hurt like a motherfucker.)
It's a fairly deep cut, but more like a knife slice than a nail puncture. I'm assuming that's why it was slow to clot--the depth, and the sharpness of the object.
This is really not the kind of cut that cries for a tetanus shot.
It will leave a nice long white scar, however.
If it keeps bothering you or keeps bleeding, I can speak for the virtues of stitches, which cause things to heal almost immediately. I have eight stitches in my palm because of a wine bottle.
Thanks, y'all. I figured I was being a little paranoid about the tetanus thing, but better paranoia than a pointless and and agonizing death!
Keep it elevated, Susan. That makes especial difference to the pain, especially in a hand.
Will Eisner died yesterday too. (Yes, I appear to be on the dying artists e-mail list.) He was another brilliant talent and worked right to the end. I never met him, but he was speaking here in November and I meant to go.

We've been talking about it in the Jossiverse thread. I reposted Neil Gaiman's tribute to Eisner there.
Lilty, insent with a question about your resume.
Seconding the elevation. Heal-ma (heel of hand-ma?) Susan...
Anyone got one of them gmail invites that I might have?
I've got one, Cass. Shall I send it to your profile addy?
