So I was working on my chicken coop yesterday trying to get it ready for the chicks and the turkey to start staying in the coop instead of the hutch there in now. Anyway all was gonig well untill I tried to pull some corregated tin out from where it was wedged between the chianlink fence and more tin. If you didnt guess what happened, I cut the bejesus out of my thumb, it look like the black knight from monty python. Blood was squitring out like crazy and I said "ouch" in a slightly raised voice which of course got my wifes attention who was working in the garden. So now my cut goes from a cut to a major medical emergency and she is rushing me inside to wash it out an see how bad it was. Once the water was running and I could see it I was dissapointed in the size considering how much blood had sqiurted out of it, it look very minor to me, but just because it's my thumb doesnt mean my opinion counts for anything. I got over ruled by my wife and suddenly found my self sitting on the passenger side of my truck being driven to the hospital.
I know it is usless to argue with her so I just sit back holding the washcloth around my thumb and enjoy the ride since my day is shot now. So we get to the hospital and fill out all the forms and crap then do the triage thing and finally get a nurse to come look at it. SHe says thats not too bad (I already knew that) then she spreads it out a little and says it's very deep though and will need stitches since it's on a joint. Now I am happy, I havent had stitches in years, and at least my insurance wont get charged for some steristrips and a bandaide.
So she leaves the room for a bit then comes back with a needle and some forms and says sign here for your tetnus shot. Sweet bonus I get a shot too!! It didnt hurt at all but I can feel it thismorning. She leaves again then comes back with a bowl of hot water and some brown goo and mixes it together and say soak your hand in this. It smells like foot and ass but I guess they know what they are doing, she leaves again then returns about 10 min later with all the junk required for doing stitches. The Dr. finally arives and shoots the drugs into my thumb to numb it up and gets to work putting in the 3 stitches. At this point I get a good laugh cause my wife is turning very pale watching them jab the needle and thread through my thumb, I thought she was gonna pass out. It only took a few min and it was all over and we were on our way home, the only bad part was I did not get pictures of all the gore. I wish I had got the blood squirting out or video of the stitches going in but all I got was the aftermath.
So how was your weekend??
