Ouch! I cut my leg badly.

Normally I would not post this, but this type of incident needs a quick response.

Is there any type of glue stitching I could use to close the gap? The gap is about 1/2 inch.

I was using a razor blade to do craft-work when the blade slipped and went right into my thigh. Right now I am glad I missed my femoral artery. It was about 1 inch away.

I think the stuff is called Dermabond. But I would still see a doctor.

OK, Thanks. That is perfect. I will see a doctor soon.

Oh, Where would one go to find dermabond?

I think I will just go to the doctor.

Probably Walmart. I take Liquid Bandage with me when I travel. Similar, but with less tensile strength.

Yea, I have new skin, but it wont dry because of the blood. I have a standard bandage on it right now.

At least it is a clean cut, the razor was brand new. Glad it was not dull or rusty. The edges of the wound are as straight as lines. It is a good candidate for dermabond.

Be sure to sterilize it!

Don't you have parents? I faintly recall a thread you started a few weeks ago asking for help on a paper for a high school class.

Yes. I didn't want stitches. It turns out I did not need them.

You guys are funny.
