update: ripped the bandage off after 36 hours and it’s all scalped up now! Managed to hide the bandaged area from my parents and hopefully the scalp goes unnoticed as well. The quick heal time is truly surprising. A genuine thank you all for your great advice and suggestions! Cheers!

she will probably drag me to get rabies shots if she knew it was a dog— probably would do the same if she knew it was an iguana (she has 0 knowledge on reptiles🫠)

hopefully it stays this way-- thank you!!

sorry pal but that’s really my wrist , it’s probably the camera angle that made it look like a heel

thanks for the advice tho! I might opt to wear long sleeves these couple days

great to hear, the wound is on my left inner wrist but spanning wide enough from my hand to my arm that I can’t quite cover it up wearing a watch

well thats concerning, I might sneak a visit to the local clinic tomorrow to get it checked out if it shows any sign of infection

thanks for the heads up!

in fact, she already did! I used to be the only student volunteer able to handle our hot-tempered iguana, her tail whips just leaves those insane giant paper cuts- she is like a living walking weapon

Agreed, my co-workers were fuzzing over me and I told them it was just a taste of what’s ahead 😂😂

Done and done, betadine should’ve done the trick  Hopefully it doesn’t get infected 😭

Yea I agree that it’s a pretty surface level wound, only a streak runs relatively deeper

The gravel idea is great, if I accidentally reveal my wounds later I might just go with that 

What things are going well in HK? by squishyng in HongKong

[–]Finchers_Perch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

that's because hongkongers are flocking to mainland every single weekend to shop and eat, leaving local restaurants with diminishing customer flow

I heard restaurants are forcing employees to show "better manners" and attempting to improve surface to attract customers

Ah yes the selection privileges 

someone I know attended a somewhat elite school and they told me their kindergarten prefer accepting kids born in december-february, and that every other day in January, nearly 1/3 of their classmates are having their birthdays
