Hello eden1515: Well... I would like to suggest that there is no wrong, or right, here. There is simply... oh... let's say: "workable" & not workable. Cutting can be dangerous. It can lead to infection & blood poisoning. It also, of course, leaves scars. On the other hand, if it's keeping you going & you like it... well... maybe it's better than whatever the alternative might be. From my perspective, this is really a choice you have to make for yourself. I think the question you really have to ask yourself is: will I come to regret this in the future? Of course, you can't know the answer to this for certain. All you can do is to think it through & come to the best conclusion you can. If your answer is no, then I guess I would say go ahead & do what you like. Just try to do it as safely as possible. Good luck with this...
