Of course I get a splinter in a finger on my right hand.  Using my left hand to dig out a tiny splinter was a new exercise in 'damn that hurts'.

I used to know a fellow woodworker who didn’t believe in digging out splinters. He would let them get infected, the squeeze the splinter out along with the pus.

Haven’t heard from him in years. I suspect he died of gangrene.

I got a monster splinter one time handling stainless steel.sheet metal (wearing gloves). 

It was at an odd angle for me to get ahold of so a girl who worked in the injection molding side of the shop offered to pull it out with the tweezers.

She almost gagged - it was a bit over 3 cm long....

Bled a fair bit too.....

The guys in the shop were making - "It was so big she gagged" jokes all afternoon....

I don't generally get queasy...something has to be really bad for that to happen.

Worst self-surgery was when I healing from my mastectomies the incisions showed signs of infection. I tried to wipe across the first one carefully with a Q-tip only to have it snag on an internal stitch that was trying to come out. BLECH! Happened on both sides. Saved them in a baggie till I went to the plastic surgeon...he said, "Oh, you're one of those people."

To add my list of things I may have to tell medical personnel is that my body may reject any internal stitches.

I nearly fainted that day. Like I wasn't dealing with enough shit, to include the damn drains in my sides. Fuck that...not fun at all.

Had a cool plan for finishing the quilt I am working on...cool, until trying to actually do it. sigh

I'll make it work...some swearing will likely be involved.

When I went to re- enlist they found a hernia that needed repair. I was stationed on Kodiak Is - and they sent me to Elmandorf AFB in Anchorage to have it fixed. After surgery they sent me back to Kodiak.

They had used metal staples externally to close. The hospital at Kodiak said they had no tool to remove the staples and would have to send me back to Elmendorf... It was a pain in the ass to schedule - so I used my side cutting pliers to cut the staple then needlenose pliers to remove them.

I went back to the hospital to get it signed off....

When they asked how I had removed them I produced a pair of paper staple removers I had took from the office....

You should have seen the look on the corpman' s face...

I wonder if they tried it???

Dad stitched himself up twice. Once in his knee that was done solo and one in the palm of his hand, my sister had to help tied the knots. At least he had a medical background.

I have a scar on my foot that I wish I'd have let him sew up as his scars looked a lot better than mine does.
