Exciting ha? It felt completely different then how I imagined it would feel. I was stabbed in the hand. Lol. The last month has been rather hectic for me personally to say the least.

I hope it was a kitchen accident and not an attack (not that it would feel good either way).
I had a friend who was stabbed in the back in a random (as far as he knew) attack in a crowd. He thought he'd just been punched hard, until someone screamed, seeing the blood.
I hope 2007 is better to you!

Oh mein Gott, why did someone do that? Was it unprovoked, or were you being overly forward with some girl again, or?
Deborah
Oh, and I hope it did no permanent harm to your hand.
Porthos
Mon dieu Ben! You're not going to believe who did it to me.

I once impaled my finger on a knife. Felt exactly like I thought it would. Hurt like a bitch!
Lemme guess: brother? sister?

I was once backstabbed by someone who grassed on me to the teacher. Oh, you mean an actual stabbing that involves a bit of blood, at least?
I hope it's not too serious, Porthos. Did you need stitches?

I think someone's after you, Porthos!
I've never been stabbed. The closest was when a glass I was washing broke in my hand and sliced my palm. It didn't hurt at first, and I didn't even realize it happened until a commercial came on TV and I looked down and saw my dishwater had turned pink.

Well, I hope your revenge was cold and sweet.
Deborah
Well, so who did it to you?
I've never been stabbed, but I was sewing and ran my finger under the needle. The machine stopped with the needle in my finger, and I had to turn the wheel by hand to get it out.

I was making a stollen the other week, and whilst I was zesting an orange, I accidently zested part of my finger, lol. And as others have mentioned, I didn't notice straight away either.

I hope nothing serious.
From embarrassments of my youth: At the age of 16 I nearly cut my thumb off with an axe when I was choping of the branches of a trunk. It did not hurt at all .. well, not until it started to heal.

The answer......... Drum roll please..................... Was me!
I was doing some pranks with my friends and I was stabbing an inflatable snowman in the street just to see if it would pop and I ended up stabbing myself.
I immediately felt pain, but it came as a shock, so that my sensory perception of the pain was not at 100%. I felt the pain, let out a roar, and looked down at my hand. Once I was over the initial shock, I really started to notice the pain and I pulled the knife out. I was bleeding like mad, and I just felt hot liquid gushing out of my hand. My friends were about 50 yards away in the dark, and I ran to them, yelling that I stabbed myself. Of course, with my personality and with my tendency to constantly joke around or fib, they assumed I wasn't serious. It wasn't until they saw all of the blood streaming down from my hand that they realized what was happening.
We were all in shock. It felt like something that was supposed to happen in the movies but not in real life, and most certainly, not to me. I was like "this is so gangsta!". One of my friends was concerned about getting me help before I lost too much blood, while the rest of us, myself included, were just concerned about what we were going to tell our parents. We went back to the house where the party was taking place and I got cleaned up and bandaged up, while we were trying to clot the blood, which took over a half hour. Even as I went to bed that night, the blood was still seeping through my bandage and I awoke to a bloody mess all over my bed in the morning. It turns out I needed stitches but by the time I went to the doctor the next day, it was too late. So, now they're concerned about infection, so I have my hand bandaged real tight. I can't even let it get wet in the least bit, so I've had to refrain from showers!!! I've had somebody wash my hair for me in the sink at least.
But I punctured a nerve and now my hand is numb and tingling along the left side and my pinky finger. And I can't straighten out two of my fingers.
We had to clean up the blood down the street because there was a trail of blood about a block long from the site of the injury to the house at which I stopped. It looked like a murder scene or something. It was a blood bath. My friends were were watering down the sidewalk with a hose and bleaching the sidewalk. It was pretty funny in retrospect.

Why? That sounds like a thoroughly ridiculous thing to do. I hope you weren't attempting to vandalise someone else's inflatable snowman anyway.

Ha, my hands and feet are numb all the time, lol. I'm not sure why.
Uriel
Of course it was someone else's snowman.
Serves you right, Porthos.
And no, after a few hours you cannot surgically close a wound. Bacteria start growing in it right away, multiplying every 20 minutes or so, and once they reach critical mass, you will simply seal the infection inside and create the conditions for septicemia or an abscess. I think I remember the cutoff point being about three hours from the time of injury. (We sewed up a lot of lacerations and dogfight wounds at my old job.)
You also can't lie to your doctor about how old a wound is, because they heal at a certain set rate, and a doctor can look at a wound and instantly tell you if it's an hour old or a few days old. People would try that crap all the time on us -- "Oh, this just happened!" And the vet would roll their eyes behind their backs and say, "Yeah -- that happened yesterday at the earliest."

It didn't really belong to anybody. It was out in the street by the garbage.
