Just be sure sheās aware that using magnets to keep something like a nipple shield attached could cause tissue to be pinched and necrosis / infection to result.
Cool. Yeah I think a lot of people donāt get how little time it takes to destroy tissue. Tourniquets are a prime exampleā¦ when youāre bleeding out itās fine to lose an arm but if youāre using it for hemostasis, it isnāt recommended to use for any longer than 1.5 hours to 2 hours depending on the area of the body. Smaller elements like fingers etc have far less recommended time.
My point is if she figures she could wear a shield even for just a few hours, it could be causing tissue damage.
The -p0
It was painful without anesthetics, and the skin was surprisingly tough. I think next time Iāll try to make the incision not on the palm, but instead about 1 cm farther to the outside of the hand, where the skin isnāt as sturdy. That area also has a lot of movement, which makes surface skin healing take longer. I ripped the wound open several times (just on surface level) while working on stuff or carrying firewood, and it was really frustrating.
At Chaos Communication Congress
Here, I did an installation in a friend during the Chaos Communication Congress in Hamburg. The receiver was in pain and made some terrifying sounds, which caused me to shake more then usualāsomething you can actually see in the video!
That last video, all I was thinking was ābreathe, deep breathes!ā but it works out ok. Not sure if the background music helps though in terms of elevated heart rate. Pretty cool though.
Sorry. I watched these in reverse order. Video 1 is insane. I could not have done that without having something to numb the area. You clearly have lot of self control to withstand that.
How did it finally heal? How did you keep tearing it? Normal.movements or were you doing something which required you to (I donāt know) grip hard or use force? I recently did a knife edge install on a xMagic on my right hand and didnāt realise how much I just use the outside of my hand to push doors open (I use our fire escape so the doors open outwards and are very heavy - incidental exercise over using the elevator).
Love it. Also thanks for accommodating the non metric amongst us!
The healing looks really good. I will be interested in knowing how it performs on your palm. I suspect, once it properly heals and seats itself, it will be a great spot for an install. Although it clearly requires dedication and commitment for such results.
To be honest I would love to do it but am nowhere near as brave. Well done.
Permissions donāt allow embedding but itās fine. It was a clean perfect removal all the way to the end where you wiped your finger over the incision hahah Likely fine, so yeah very nice job overall.
Wow, when you said it wandered into your wrist, it really wandered into your wrist! āāā
Beautifully executed extraction. ā§ą“¦ąµą“¦ą“æ( ^į^ ) Thanks for sharing how itās done. I might want to remove my NExT at some point to make room for something else.
