I took a wicked gash in the leg today, above the left knee when an angle grinder slipped from my hand and hit me on the leg. In a split second it cut through my jeans and made a gash about 2 inches long and a half inch deep.

Naturally, I'm too tough for hospitals and stitches, so after I covered it with paper towel and electrical tape (lol) I went to the pharmacy for some butterflies. That's where I found these neat new things.

They are "Doctor's Choice" Skin Closures. They are these cool little strips about 3 inches long. The strips come 5 to a "kit", with 5 kits to the box for $8.99.

You expose the adhesive at one end of the 5 strip kit, and press it down on one side of the cut, them expose the adhesive in the middle, and draw the wound closed, press it down again, and then finally, expose the last end of the strips and press them down. The whole thing gets covered with this special pad.

I did mine at 5:30, then drove a standard transmission truck for an hour and half to get home, and the strips are still firmly in place under the pad, and the wound appears to be tightly closed.

They are amazing really. I think every first aid kit should two or three boxes of these things.

Yeah, it was a mangled mess alright. The pic doesn't even do it justice. It wasn't a "gash", it was a ¼ inch wide piece of meat completely gone all the way across and nearly to the bone, with a few minor cuts surrounding it...

A few months ago I burned the back of my right hand pretty bad, had second and third degree burns. It was really painful, and I had to put this white sulfadine cream on it and kept it bandaged for weeks. On the worst areas it burned off a lot of flesh, and I'll have a scar from it. It's an area about 2 by 2 inches by my index and middle fingers. Burns really hurt.

Thanks! I got a new job which is kind of tough but I like it a lot, I get worn out when I come home, and haven't really even read here in some time. Tonight I am taking it easy so I thought I'd come over here to see what's been going on. This new job is very physical, so it's like built in excercise, which is another thing that is important for all of us, to be in the best physical shape possible with the way things are going.
