Man, had the sutures taken out of my head yesterday....I can tell you all from experience that any crap they give you about "You won't feel a thing!" is utter BS....that fecker hurt so bad I was almost in tears, and I have a decent pain threshold. Trouble is, I usually shave my head, and had to leave it for a fortnight, and the new hair grows into the scab and the stitches and just makes things worse....it's good for when they stitch you initially, but a bit nasty when they take them out. Glad that's over with.
You call that painful, I got a paper cut on my little pinky this morning. :roll: MTFU, it's a bit of string ffs mate. If it bothers you, next time try: Distraction. When the pain is gaining the upper hand & you feel it's beating you, you can take control by applying your own pain., A nice rusty old nail should do the trick. Hth.
pffft, stitches are so passé... try having staples taken out when they've pulled half through the incision wound. worst pain EVAR!
Pain? Ha! I was at my favourite Indian restaurant in Palmers Greek on Sunday. I had a Lamb Tikka, with extra onion and onion fried rice. From the side salad, I took the quarter of lemon to squeeze onto the Lamb Tikka, forgetting that I had a tiny open cut on one of my fingers, the lemon juice got in, and oh gosh, it did surprise me somewhat
Palmers Green has been invaded by Greeks, who knew?, it uses to be a mainly Jewish area, good to know, he he
I was at my favourite American restaurant the other day, and I was kinda wondering about my favourite Indian place...then I realized I don't have one, because they all suck!! I mean seriously, does anyone ever say "Honey, let's go out and eat Ethiopian food tonight??" I don't think so.
It's been known as Palmers Greek from about the early 90's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmers_Green
I don't think I've ever been there at all?? What do you do at an Ethiopian restaurant....sit around for a month and wait for the Red Cross trucks??...and tell the waitress you're starving?? Sounds like my kind of fun.
When I mashed my foot. I had the pins just pulled out. Bit of freeze spray and the mole grips. It felt very weird...
Normally I would Steffy, but they were on an awkward part of my head that I couldn't see in a mirror....I've pulled a couple out since that the doctor must've missed.
Doh, I did it again last night and landed on my right (new) hip & my head. I'd been trying to sit on a pool table for a decent shot when I slipped and fell....woke up with about 6 paramedics & firefighters standing over me...at least I won't need sutures on this, or maybe just a couple.
I can't see there being any NCD left on your medical insurance by now D41. :? How... no, on reflection... Hope you haven't damaged anything this time.!
NCD...don't have that here, for regular plans. The rest of them I don't worry about as they can't refuse life-threatening treatment (they can't)....they'll bill you for it, but if you throw it in the trash there's nothing they really do. I'm skint anyway, so I don't care. So that's makes a total of 2 ambulances & 1 firetruck sent to my pool place just for me in the last two months, and 4 more elsewhere in the 6 months before that....I'm tired of ambulances...for all the money they spend on them you'd think they fit a stereo!??
