This previous Saturday, I decided to try out my new battery powered 8" mini chainsaw. I was very stupid, and ended up holding a branch that was too small to stabilize it so it could cut it off. Of course, the saw bounced and hit the hand holding the branch.
I got two 1-2mm deep chunks taken out of my index finger knuckle, and a deep flap cut into my thumb. The weirdest thing was that it really didn’t hurt; I was just annoyed that blood was everywhere.
Here I am nearly 4 days out, and my thumb is almost completely healed, and the deepest cut on my knuckle is only like 2 days from being completely healed over. The only part of the whole process that hurt was putting pressure on everything immediately after cleaning it, and putting the liquid bandage on my knuckle (it’s acetone based).
I’m actually slightly concerned about my pain threshold, because I cut open my shin on a server rail yesterday and it really didn’t hurt either.
That’s probably why u healed so quick. I find that when I’m eating well mostly meats and fruits my body physically recovers far quicker.
I get all sorts of cuts and bruses all the time just walking into shit or being an idiot. I’ve noticed when I’m taking care if my diet as in heigh protein medium-low carb with some additional nutrient supplementing foods I heal much quicker.
Edit: I do have fast food every couple of weeks but I find after like half a burger it makes me feel almost physically ill.
