How long does it take for a bleeding cut to stop when tightly compressed?

[Evo]

Any history of hemophilia in the family?

Nope.

I'm too upset to even talk about it. I will assess the damage tomorrow. I was in such a hurry to get them inside away from the winds and hail and with blood running down my arm, I failed to make sure they were steady.

I have managed to finally stop the bleeding. I have a bandaid wrapped tightly enough around my thumb to stop it.

But my squash plants...

Sorry to hear about your squashed squash plants, but glad you finally got your thumb to stop bleeding. With wind and hail, I can see why you were reluctant to run out to get more bandages.

On the other hand, how could you not have duct tape around? turbo's never going to let you move into his shack (or was it under his bridge? now I can't remember) if you don't have the sense to keep around a healthy supply of duct tape!

In the future, any sort of tape will work around a paper towel, or even rubber bands will hold the towel in place long enough to drive to a store for proper bandages. You better pick up supplies to restock your first aid kit on your way home from work tomorrow. You're too accident-prone not to have a fully stocked first aid kit.

 

[Evo]

I can't believe I don't have duct tape either.

I need to go out and get fully stocked.

It's been an hour.

how did you cut your thumb exactly? (the seriousness of the cut would determine what measures need to be taken => this may be a little late since I see the thread is 3 pgs long but )

I remember that I once had to open a tuna can and it was one of those ones with crackers and whilst peeling off the lid I just pushed my pinky into the lid. (correct that, I dug my pinky into the lid)

and you could take some (not too much) vitamin K OR eat veggies that have it until your cut heals ^___^

OUCH! That's bad!

Miine was stupid, I was washing a butcher's knife and it slipped and went through my thumb.

wow...ouch! (you had a bigger ouch than me)

I added to the post above that you could eat more veggies that have vitamin k since they would help your cut heal. Hope your cut gets better..the only thing I could recommend is to not get the bandaid wet. (I hate when that happens, because the cut could reopen that way)

[Evo]

Vitamin K is not a bad idea.

Judging from earlier experience, duct tape was used by Evo Child.

I'm not a big TV watcher, but that was funny.

Glad to hear you stopped leaking.

 

[Kurdt]

You need to eat spinach Evo. Before you do you have to say "I can'ts stands no more".

 

[Lisa!]

Is that true that the percentage of women who suffer hemopholia is so low that we can almsot say there's none female hemophilia?I mean they just pass hemophilia to their descendants!

Any history of hemophilia in the family?

 

[Kurdt]

I know haemophilia is a recessive X chromosome disease so men get it far more often since we only have one X and women have 2. So for a woman to have haemophilia both parents have to be carriers whereas for men only the mother needs be a carrier. I'm not sure what percentage of women have both recessive genes though.

I cut my thumb pretty badly once while trying to open a can of soup. It was one of those newer cans that have the pull tab. I had to hold it for quite a while before it stopped. It had me worried, and I was |--this--| close to finding medical assistance.

 

[_Mayday_]

How are you typing? One hand? Wow Evo, I hope you're Ok there.

It is second only to my fave scene:

"I wonder what Eddie hears when he hears us talking?"
