In er
I think someone’s wife will be hiding the knives…
Hope all’s well.
This time I probably would have said no. I’m batting 1000 with you.
Tell us how it goes (and the story). Hope all is well.
Stitches? No. Puncture wounds he prefers to leave alone, particularly since I just had a tetanus shot. (When? See OP date.)
Middle finger can’t fold more than halfway. No nerve hit. Maybe vein.
Wants X-ray to see if air hole in knuckle (?) or bone chips which he doubts.
Wife present. We ask the most important question: I didn’t want to go but wife said to. Who was right?
Doc: “You’re a pianist and you’re asking that?”
At least he did not do THIS
Though i fear he may be practicing for it…
Leo, just tell your wife you don’t like to cook. She’ll understand.
I don’t mean to pry, but have you been feeling okay? Any numbness in your feet or legs? I’m concerned that a person who probably has better manual dexterity than most of us has had two injuries like this in a rather short span of time. Might want to check in with your PCP and just make sure everything neurological and circulatory is running within normal operating limits. These are probably things the ER doctor didn’t check out.
Story of wounding to be written when better equipped (see update.)
WhyNotmis on to something, but it was/is mood oriented.
Don’t steel mad distracted and nervous.
Plus 0.5 mg of apparently “ineffectual” lorazapam.

Er… ineffectual might not be word I’d use here :D.
Time to Step Away From The Keyboard, LOL.
(just ragging on you… I did something similar once via email when I’d taken a sleeping pill after 48 hours w/o sleeping. The effect on me was a bit of a surprise).
Do get better, though - that’s an order!
Broken? Holy fuck. Your wife is right.
Hope everything is ok. Please take care. Also please avoid the sharp pointy objects when using lorazepam.
Ah, yes, that would do it.
Stop that.
And feel better soon!
One time when I didn’t have medical insurance, something similar happened. There was this broken glass/ceramic ashtray at my girlfriends cottage, I haphazardly put all the pieces together on the table in an assembled fashion (to fix later). She knocked it down with a loaf of break somehow and a big heavy shard went right into the part above my left ankle and shin and tore it open, it was the size of the bottom of a bic lighter (awesome reference point lol) . No medical insurance, and out of state, didn’t want to deal with the hassle, so It gushed blood for about an hour an a half, not more than a half pint, though, although a bloody towel looked worse than it was. I grabbed a needle and thread (cheap needle too, no bendable/would snap) and sanitized the wound and the needle with vodka (i was a big drunk at the time too, probably didn’t help the bleeding) and put three stitches in there, wrapped it up really tight with a cloth (ace?) bandage and toilet paper, The bleeding stopped, It never got infected, but long story short… Get professional stitches… although this worked, The area of the scar and around it have NO feeling at all. Nothing, its like a golfball size area of my leg is now permanently numb to this day. Occasionally I get an itch, but nothing happens when i scratch it. It sucks!
EDIT: Also, normal thread is a pain in the ass once it heals, most was ejected naturally but I’m pretty sure there is a piece of string inside my leg surrounded by scar tissue.
