Now, the story:
Last week, I was at work and was moving a cart w/ 8' condensor coils on it. The cart had a lot of grease on it and my hand slipped off and went underneath. I didn't think anything of it but noticed a crazy amount of something spraying out underneath. Then pulled my arm out to realize it was blood (I was in shock at the time). So I grabbed my arm and started walking towards the nurse's office. After walking a while, I about collapsed when someone ran up to me and wrapped a towel over my arm and helped me there. Then eventually the ambulance showed up, went to the hospital, some dickhead doctor grabbed my arm as hard as he could over the wound (never explained why he did that), then proceeded to stick 6 shots into the gaping wound to numb it. After that, he grabbed a needle and started poking my hand in various spots (probably 8 times or so) to see where my hand was numb. Only 1 of the spots was my hand actually numb so I got stabbed another 7 times in my hand. Afterwards, they finally gave me some morphine and the next morning I had a 6 hr surgery to reattach my tendons and artery. Today I had the most painful physical therapy I hope I ever have to go through and I'm on my 2nd prescription of vicodin. Next week, they take out the staples.
It sucks to own a 5 speed at the moment because I'm stuck driving a POS S10 until I can clench a fist.
