    Ouch, and Doc's right. If it doesn't stop soon, you probably need to have it checked out.

    Dude, I don't even like shots. There's no way I'm sewing myself up.

    And I'm not driving either. And my roommates have to get up in 4 hours. I'll live. It's only been about 10 minutes. I'm sure it will stop at some point.

    Or you could try to tourniquet it if it's that bad, and gushing blood. Just hope you don't have white carpets. Everything will be good. Elevate the leg if possible.

    OK, but call someone or AIM someone so they call call 911 if you pass out. Seriously.

    10 minutes is an awfully long time for something to be bleeding like that

    I have scotch tape? I've got my right leg tucked up beside me, and I'm pressing on it when I'm not typing. I had my leg crossed before, with TP between my heel and my other thigh, but it bled through onto my pants. I'll keep it this way.

    Apparently I cracked off a chunk of the glass inlay of the coffee table in my room. I put my right heel up there, crossed my left ankle over, then when I got tired of sitting like that, dragged my right foot off. Bad move.

    I'm on AIM. Half the people on this board know my handle on there. I'll have sportschick babysit me.

    It's not gushing. Just if I don't press on it for about 30 seconds, it beads up and starts to run. I'm just trying to slow it down.

    That it is a flesh wound...

    Are those robins chirping? Did IJAG just concur with me on something? :D

    Still makes me queasy reading about it. I don't do so well with blood, though I'm fine with blood draws at the doctor, for some odd reason.

    I'm doing my part to fix the rising animosity. For now. I'm bleeding, not thinking straight.
