Anyone cut themselves open recently?

On a similar theme to my 'Anyone set themselves on fire recently?' thread. Yes, I've cut myself open today. As it was on the aluminium edge of the wing, I'm thinking many of the lads must have been in a similar situation when working on sharp ali panels.

Anyway, renovating the wings today. Had one upside down while rubbing it down. Stepped over it, lost my balance and the bottom edge caught me above the knee on the back of my thigh. Didn't hurt and so kept on working. 20 mins later popped indoors and my son saw it and said 'dad that's really deep'. It couldn't have been far off getting to my ham string. Weird thing was it barely bled!

So, anyone else cut themselves open recently?

dont take them for more than 6 years.

I usually bleed, what I presume is a standard amount. But not a trickle out of this, otherwise I would have felt it and stretched around for a closer look! If my son hadn't had a good look at it, I would had a shower, gone to bed, woke up dead in a pool of blood stuck to the sheets!

Really? I thought there was an increased risk of internal bleeding but was thought to prevent cancer after taking them daily for 3 months.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term. Slept in the wet spot.

sliced second finger right hand in two places after slipping with chuck key and hitting stand drill vice base rather hard.
Deep and moved flesh so bled a lot and hurt, still not healed two days later but getting there
What hurt most was washing it in cold water and trying to clean oil and filings out before bandage went on..........need a hug

dont believe me if yu dont want to - just repeating what the docs said about my f in l..... RIP

it tis an anti coagulant, of sorts. hence why they prescribe it for heart attack victims. helps thin the blood.

and good it is too - under doctors prescription - normally v low doses - 75-85mg.
