Yesterday, while on the phone with Mr Smith of Smith and Alexander, I decided to trim my toe nails/talons. I use Klein flush cut side cutters, very sharp and the shrapnel flies a good distance....I cut a tad close, looked and said to myself, that's gonna bleed. I was wrong, it was gusher.
Hobbled to the bathroom to treat it with peroxide and left a blood trail, foot in tub and it looks like someone has been knifed, blood is everywhere. I was thinking tourniquet but didn't have anything to hand, so wrapped it in a wash cloth, hobbled back to recliner, some super glue came to mind,,,couldn't find it, meanwhile i'm bleeding out. Finally got it slowed down and put a glob of neosporin over the wound...cleaned up all the blood best i could, finally found a gigantic bandaid, i didn't know they made them that huge, luckily i found a stash of them.
If toenail bleeding was an olympic sport i'd be a gold medal winner. the real winner will be the local salon that does pedicures, henceforth.
My face hurt just from reading "styptic pencil"....Next time you visit the drug store pick up a Styptic pencil or some powder. Quick Clot may be an option too.
Not sure what is worse!1 the toe cut nearly off or the toenail fungus run rampant LOL!!
LOL just a pic i found on the web
