well, it's been 15 and it's finally slowing down..it's not even a deep cut, that's what weird. he's normally clotted just fine, so i really wonder if the lipitor has a play in this? should he cut back on it? |

Just put a tight bandaid on it overnight. The Lipitor has nothing to do with it. |

Yeah, that was a little weird. Here I just got thru teasing TonyW a few days ago about cutting his hand making breakfast and now that ultra-sharp Wustoff utility knife slices of a sliver of epidermis. You'd almost think I had caught and gutted a havelina in my kitchen!

Hey, those wustoff are sharp! I thank my finger bone, for saving the rest of my finger from being sliced off. |

 in fact, you would have thought i would have had the cut, not him  ....hahahai did help him change from paper towel to gauze tho....he's a strong boy though, able to take care of me and him!! HAHAHA (yea, i know... sad but true) we just couldn't figure out why it would bleed so much considering it's more like a facial cut. | |

I've found a nice mixture of dirt, grease and engine oil works to clot quite well.
