Problems - wounds and healing

My character has been wounded and I'm trying to figure out the best way for this to work.

It's a dystopian novel and my main character is a participant in a resistance group. She was captured and tortured for information but when they discovered there was nothing they could do to break her they decided to torture her in front of her lover to break him for information. And to make sure that he gives them correct information my character was stabbed. Originally she was stabbed in the stomach and left to bleed to death unless he managed to tell them everything and help them capture the other resistance members. This was too complex and would cause a lot of trouble for my main character and she would probably die before anyone could help her which would defeat the whole plot. (In this particular scene my characters kind of just took a life of their own and things happened so fast that I didn't have a chance to stop them! gotta love when your characters do that do you! UGH! lolz)
I've been researching better places for her to be stabbed and still get a similar result. My friend suggested stabbing in the hip and hitting a hip flexor. Now from what I can tell it looks like there is a huge artery right near the hip flexor - almost on top of it - now would this take careful consideration of the government official who is torturing her to make sure he stabs her just right or would it be pretty easy for him to hit the hip flexor and still miss the artery? The torturer carries a small knife (bigger than a pocket knife) and would probably be what he would use to stab her but he does have access to an array of weapons if necessary.

I'm really not good with anatomy. I have a pretty weak stomach and usually get really nauseous just thinking about it but this is important...haha!

Also, how much would my character be able to move? Would the pain be pretty localized to the one side or would it hurt to move both legs? This character is extremely tough and used to high levels of pain but how much would she be able to stand this? Would it be possible for her to put a small amount of weight on the leg on the side she had been wounded? How much blood would there be?

One more thing, because the resistance has been compromised (because of my FMC's lover) they relocate into the surrounding area. They are cut off from most medical supplies so...what would they have to do to help my FMC heal?

I know this is a lot but I'm kind of stuck and my characters have been making me frustrated with their antics ;) Maybe this will get me interested in my novel again.... I tried to give sufficient background information but if there is more that you are needing I can supply more.

This probably should have gone in plot doctoring but I wasn't sure because it had to do with anatomy and wounds so it was kind of a toss-up... sorry if I have it in the wrong place.

Um...
I read a book where the MC slices open a mans leg, singles out a nerve, and then rubs it with a knife. Messy to get to the nerve and painful as HELL.
Now, infection is the biggest danger. A person well on the way back to full health can easily die of an infection if it's not treated.

Taike a tip from the Chinese and cane her feet. It is extremely painful but you can recover from it. Or consider branding. Full thickness burns are extremely painful and leave a lasting reminder of that pain by the scar that is left.

To help the FMC heal they would put honey on the wound, or if they can't get honey, then sugar...

Lizzardhoung: How was that character healed? or did the character die? I'm worried about the infection part of it because they are stuck out in the woods away from civilization with a bounty on their heads.

irparks: I looked up canning and it's definitely a possibility. How would someone be medically treated for that? How long would it take to recover? I looked on wikipedia but it doesn't offer much info other than the type of cane (or whip) used and different times it has happened which isn't much help.

I'm not bee expert but It's winter time out and I'm pretty sure bees don't make honey in the winter. But they could possibly sneak into a town and steal it if they had to. Thanks for the info! I did no know honey had any healing powers at all! Haha!
