Mate tell me about it... on my right hand I have had over 27 stitches from all sorts of dumb shit and about 12 in the left hand... touch wood it has been a long time since my last stitch..
I was getting sick of it always seeming to do a decent job on myself and it was not the pain (although that did suck) but the inconvenience of it all that pissed me off.
My best effort was an artery and a nerve in the palm of my hand from a fight and was rushed into emergency surgery.. that was about 6 months all up... blah.
Over it!!
