Today, I came home to my boyfriend wearing one of my pads on his hand, because he didn't want to pay to go to the hospital for stitches. FML

Today, I visited the hospital with my boyfriend to have an injury checked. When the doctor removed the band-aid, my boyfriend started screaming and passed out. I had to get him out of the room using a wheelchair. The "injury" is a cut in his finger. FML

Today, my boyfriend came round to drop off some underwear, which I'd left at his house. Not all of what he brought was mine. FML

Today, I returned home to find that my boyfriend's dog had gotten into the garbage and ripped all my used pads to shreds. There's a trail of Always tatters leading to his dog bed, and blood everywhere. My blood. Oh God. FML

Today, I had a performance. I have to go bra-less to wear my gown and I didn't want any peek-a-boos. I asked my boyfriend to bring "large band-aids" without telling him why I needed them. He brought waterproof, top-notch tough ones. They're still stuck to me, and are not coming off anytime soon. FML

Today, I had to be go to the ER after I fell on a rake. After having stiches put in, my Mom wanted me to go to the store with her. My friend saw me at the store and thought it would be funny to rip off the band aid because she thought I was hiding a zit. She ripped out my stitches. FML

Today, I treated my boyfriend to an expensive dinner using the last of my paycheck. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom a few minutes in. I came back to find my plate empty. His excuse was, "I didn't want the food to get cold." FML

Good solution, I don't get the FML

honestly, it's like a pressure dressing. highly absorbant, designed specifically for blood, sterile, and has a built in way of holding its self on the wound. honestly, when i was with Search and Rescue, we were required to carry one pressure dressing, and 3 pads. why? because they're a buttload cheaper, and do the same job. i still keep some on hand (in my kit) for that very reason.

Not an FML (unless it so happened that he used the last one and you needed it at the time). If anything, applaud his ingenuity and thriftiness!

Stupid America without a 'free - paid for by taxes' health care system.. UK rules!

Um... There are some countries where free health care is kind of crappy (ex: Canada) So I don't think that its stupid we don't have free health care. I don't want my tax money to go to other people. Its my money - I earned it. If it works for the UK, then awesome, go you. But don't say that America is stupid for not having free health care.

I live in canada, nothing wrong with the health care system. That's the american politicians against Obama's health care reform telling you that and brainwashing you. Thousands of Americans die each year simply because they can't afford to go to the Dr. That's ridiculous.

I actually heard that this is a really bad idea. The pad is designed to absorb a lot of blood quickly, so quickly that it doesn't have time to clot. You could lose a lot of blood that way if you're holding it right on the wound.

It doesn't keep absorbing the blood once it's full! You aren't going to keep gushing out, anyways. Even facecloths, tissues, paper towels... they're all absorbent. BUT, they're used to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding.
