if nearly went all the way through the webbing (About 80% though my hand) between my first finger and middle finger on my right hand. The cut went between my knuckles (Which I could clearly see inside the wound) and oddly enough I did not feel the cut as if happened.
Sadly, I am allergic to linocaine/lidocaine so deadening the wound to be closed was a major problem that day. I "bit the bullet" and had Debbie place a towel over my head and the ER staff dampened a towel for me to bite onto as the ER Dr. stapled the wound shut.
Of course the REAL fun was when the 7 staples had to be removed - Which Debbie did here at home to save $$$ from a rather useless visit to the ER to have 'em removed. I'm VERY sure she enjoyed it, as I figured it was a payback for me being a pain-in-the-ass that I can be.
