it hurts so bad

Im in so much pain. I was giving myself a pedicure and I was using one of those foot callous removing razors. I didnt notice that i had a lose piece of skin on my heel and it carved, literally CARVED a chunk out of my heel. I screamed and clutched it and then the blood came. Oh did it come. It was 11 o'clock at night and I wrapped a towel and applied pressure but the towel wasnt enough, I actually started splattering blood everywhere. I bled for a whole hour before I woke my mother up. She put a napkin over it, tried to tell me to put iodine on it...I think she has lost her mind and I told her if she came near me with that bottle we would have an incident. Then she taped up my foot with masking tape because she had nothing else.

I was in tears, around midknight Wookie gives me a call and Im crying, telling him that my foot wont stop bleeding. he brought over some medical tape, gauze and bandages. We removed the napkin and it began bleeding terribly again because some of the blood had dried up on the wound. He cleaned it out with hydrogen peroxide, which of course I started screaming right away, making his job a hell of a lot harder. The bleeding stopped a bit, but this morning I accidentally stepped on it while getting out of bed and its bleeding again, plus I had to walk across the parking lot and the campus to get to work. It was terrible.


Someone make the pain stop...and the bleeding.

Run the foot under cold water. It'll clean out the wound and also constrict your blood vessels to slow the bleeding. There's several blood vessels down there; hence, the bleeding. You have to keep the wound clean as possible or you might get an infection....

Ive been doing that but everytime I remove the bandage it starts bleeding bad all over again. I soaked up a big towel yesterday. I swear I lost so much i thought Id have to go to the ER.

Ill do that tonight though, Id hate having an infection on my left foot.
