This is gonna take forever to type. Can only do it with my left hand. And...it's not what you think. Long story short, i slipped on some snow...and gashed my hand open on my stairs. Real beautiful looking, ripped it open in a nice jagged way. Little pebbles of skin laying around, deep enough to expose the tissue...and leave a awesome looking flap. Tetanus shot...check. X rays...to see if anything happened to be stuck inside. Check. Having a needle shoved into my open wound!? WTF!? Obviously, they needed a way to numb my hand to put stitches in...but there is no better way? Honestly? I think the nurse left the handle in there. Fyi...there are alot of nerves in the hand...and i think she hit every one. MMMM, that felt better than the inital gash to the hand. :roll: I snapped 2 pics with a phone...if anyone's interested in seeing them. Probably be able to get them up later. Moral of the story...winter is a bitch and needs to die. A slow...painful death. I know IP's down. Anyway, be careful people. Who knew a white substance could cause such problems?
