Am very shaky and n heavy painkillers but need some advice. Please excuse typing or waffling.
Have stairgate at the bottom of my home stairs for DC's. Was in a rush this afternoon to get out to visit a friend. Hopped over gate, ran upstairs, ran downstairs, stood on step ABOVE the step that the gate is on, threw one leg over, and slipped. Whole weight of body down on gate, from a foot and a half above it, with leg either side. Pain unbearable. Looked and blood pouring everywhere. Crawled upstairs to bathroom, looked in hand mirror. 2 inch gash in labia minora, almost all the way through, T shaped, almost cut in half lengthways and widthways. Called DH who was home in minutes. A and E brilliant and and very quick to see me. Area is MASSIVELY swollen and blue/bruised. Hosp sent me home without suturing, saying it was almost too swollen to do anythin with and it would hopefully stop bleeding soon. Cold compresses, gauze pads and codeine.
However. Have come home and the blood is still dripping out quite fast whenever I move.
Should I go back? I don't think it can heal properly without stitches and don't want to be disfigured dow there.
Feel so sick and shaken
