So...I must have some bad karma with the right side of my body, because I've had surgery on my knee, broken my wirst, and NOW almost sliced my finger off!!! Holy Cow! I was cleaning my car out and My friend and I had drank these self heating hot Chocolates
(Very good by the way!) and there is a lid on the bottom of it that is the type of lid on a can of Spam, well...it was on my floor and I was in a hurry to get to school and BAM! Blood gushing everywhere! My mom had already left for work so I took it to my dad, I washed it off and the blood just kept coming! My dad just said (exact words) "Just put a band aid on it you'll be fine" So I took his advice and did so. That same day I was going on a fieldtrip to glendale, and I was kind of worried about my finger, by the time I got to school my bandaid was drenched in blood, (some bandaid!) haha. Well, I called my mom, and luckily since she works in scottsdale she was able to meet me. She took me to urgent care and it was there that I recieved 4 stitches.

THE GRAPHIC PART:
My wound would be describe liked this;
If you've seen jaws, then you'll be able to picture it.
If you lifted up the chunk of skin on my finger it
would look like a mini jaws took a bite of my finger
the Flesh was MEATY looking, *my stomach is turning just thinkin about it*
I took a good chunk. I mean the stiches obviously held it together
but its still gross!!! I almost became a 9 1/2 fingered woman!
Lesson Learned...Never LEAVE garbage in your car! *or let your friends leave their garbage!*

Stiches suck. I have had my fair share! The worst was when Dallan hit my with a bat in the head and I had to get 13 stiches above my right eye. The next day it swelled so much that I couldn't even open my eye. I had stiches a total of 3 times just on my face(Most of the from Dallan)!
Third lesson from your experience. Be cautious taking medical advice from your Dad. I hope you gave him a hard time about it.
Ouch! Nichelle, you better watch out for such pitfalls.
