Popular Post Wilbur ★ Posted April 16 Author Popular Post Share #10 Posted April 16 Driving home from an awesome week in St. Petersburg, I stopped at a grocery store to pick up dinner supplies including a few bottles of wine. Put the grocery box on top of my suitcase for the short drive home. Opened the rear door of my suv and the box started to fall. One wine bottle Brooke just as I grabbed the box. My SIL went into full panic mode running around freaking out. In a few short seconds I realized I needed a tourniquet so I pulled of my belt and synched it around my arm. Then we drove to Hospital one, where I sat 4 .5 hours and the triage nurse would come give me a new wad of gauze every once in a while. She then said it would probably be 5 more hours of waiting and. suggested another hospital. By. then, my SIL went home as my daughter came home from work. She drove me to the suggested hospital, the triage nurse didn't even look at the wound. Sent us to a waiting room absolutely full of psych and drug induced zombies. It was like going to a war zone full of crackheads including one dedicating in a corner on the floor. Left there and went to a third hospital, where I was properly triaged, and sent to a surgical suite. The doctor looked at it and said he had a plastic surgeon coming in to fix it. That took 3 hours and the photo was 45 minutes after the dressing was changed for the fifth time. When the surgeon arrived, he crapped on everyone and started barking out all the crap he needed and said this was a real mess. Anyway, he reconnected a tendon and artery and 26 stitches and 11 1/2 hours after the incident, I was sent home. Tylenol 3 is the order of the day. 3 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sucks to have to deal with, but at least the codeine in the Tylenol 3 is effective, too bad you can't toss the worthless tylenol it is bundled with. Hopefully the healing will be fast and complete. Will you have a cool scar at least? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little known fact that Zima confers protective benefits to those who drink it. Wounds become self-healing within minutes if you have enough Zima built up in your system.
