Luke that is a great idea. How can we send a donation. I looked but can't find anything.

Not sure about that, I assumed it would be easy since he is set up to accept benefactor funds. I'm not sure how to summon him but i will try sending a PM and maybe he can leave instruction here.

Luke,

Did I make the cut off?

Luke,

Yes sir you did, i think anyone on the first 2 pages did. The guy at the post office looked at me kind of funny. I wasn't sure if i could get away with using a standard business envelope or if I was going to have to buy the padded ones and pay shipping charges. I walked in with my sample envelope and 2 suture sets and laid in front of the guy and asked if i could send it like that and if so, how many stamps would it take. He told me what i needed and i told him to set me up with enough to send out 22 just like it. He got a puzzled look on his face and said "i can't help it, i gotta ask, do you know a bunch of clumsy folks?" lol I just said yes and left it at that. You should be seeing them in the next day or so.

No problem. Try not to have to use them.

But, but, I thought that was the point. Lol. I hold I never have to, the only blood to ever bother me was my own.

 Haha yep. I've stitched myself up a couple of times but when i started training and fighting MMA I figured out real quick that super glue is the way to go. That is until you get into a deeper flesh wound and then you would want to go with stitches because you don't want the wound completely sealed off. I quit fighting about 4 years ago and have needed glue or stitches since and hope it stays that way  :x:

 Oh and just fyi for others, if it is just a cut to the face/head or other shallow to bone area super glue will net you almost zero scar. I've had multiple facial lacerations clear to the bone and you would have to ask me where they are (unless you were about 2" from my face but i don't think i would stand still that long lol.

Good deal.

[dralarms]

Yea, I keep super glue in my first aid kits and bob's

 Good idea.

That was very cool of you to offer these.

 

I was lucky enough to get a few unused suture kits from a surgical nurse on the down-low. Good to have, but YES like Luke says, you need to waste one practicing. It's not as easy as you'd think to get it right. I practiced on grapes, rubber gloves, tangerines, and thin foam.

 They were high speed sutures.

 

 What area of Orlando do you live in? I was born and raised part of my life over in Apopka.

I'm 2 miles from Seaworld but we're buying a house in Clermont. We cannot wait to get out of the rat race.

I hear that! My family moved to TN when i was in 4th grade but i have lived down there twice since graduating high school. I Had a marine excavating/construction company in the panhandle (pre Obama) but i lived over in Daytona for school back in 2000 i went into Orlando a lot then and got down through Orlando to visit Family every year or so. About 2 years ago i sat at one red light through 10 cycles before making it through and there was no wreck, just horrid traffic!
