Was getting grocery bags out of the back of my Jeep, grabbed its lift-gate to close it & gave it a strong pull. Not realizing that I was standing a bit too close & a sharp corner of the gate hit my forehead.
Didn't hurt much & I felt the spot for a lump or blood & didn't see either of those. But a few minutes later when I got in the house & looked in the mirror there was a trail of blood running down my forehead. Cleaned it off & applied some antibacterial cream to the small wound.
What's that old saying? Oh yeah, "There's no fool like an old fool." |

Oh yours does not have close feature?
Oinkment is good to have on hand.
Your blood is thick nuff to stop quickly?
I favor cover an injury for as short a time as possible.

Henry, no, my Jeep doesn't have automatic gate closure.
I was surprised when I cleaned the wound 'cause in just a few minutes it had stopped bleeding at the wound itself.
I usually don't cover a wound myself, just ointment, unless it's taking awhile to heal. Then I'll put ointment on it & a bandage on it overnight while I sleep.

Lucky that you didn't have an open box of "those" donuts on the kitchen counter. The smell of blood might have spelled your demise!  |

Henry, no, not a'tall. It was done hurting after a few hours. One thing though: last evening that spot got itchy & I went to scratch it, forgetting what was there, & nearly ripped the scab off before I recalled & quit. |
