Normally that wouldn't be such a big deal, but I landed on a wardrobe bar. (Pictured to the right.) When I stood up, I didn't think that I had hurt myself that bad, but then I started seeing drops of blood all over everything in my truck. After I bled down the hallway in the office where I work, I soon realized that the office staff had come to the consensus that I needed to have it looked at.I fought against it for awhile, but when I couldn't get it to stop bleeding, I knew that I had to go. So, my 8-year-old son may have gotten stitches at a younger age, but now we are both part of the stitches club. I even got stitched up in the same room that he did.
Unfortunately I also had to get a tetanus shot. (Yes, that is how you spell tetanus! Look it up if you don't believe me!) The shot was rather painful, especially for a guy who doesn't like shots, and they say that my arm is going to be really sore for the next few days.Mostly I am posting about this because I am a blogger. And bloggers think about blogging at all times and in all situations. We also keep our camera phones with us so we can illustrate all of these situations. So, I couldn't wait to post the pre-stitched photos. Here they are: Gash Picture #1 and
Gash Picture #2
Dang, man! That is gross! Actually made me sick at my stomach! Yuck! Why would you post so much blood? Why would I "have" to look at it? Yuck!
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't cut an artery or cut something off. I've never had to have stitches; hopefully I never will.
Take care and be careful!
Sam told me today at the store that he felt like he and daddy were "One spirit-We're connected...it is like I can actually feel his pain on my own arm!"
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet boy...
i like it that you admitted your blogger-ness. i myself slightly fall into this category. i haven't determined if it's good or bad.
ReplyDeletehope your arm gets better.
Rick, sorry for posting the pictures of the blood... Maybe someday you will join the "stitches club" too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe open GASH pictures are SO GROSS yet SO AWESOME at the same time!! Thank you for sharing. Going to the hospital and getting stitches for that was a no-brainer...some things you just know and looking at that wound most people would just know it's a stitcher-upper...no question
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you know this but, in case you don't...Putz, in English, is a slang term for your wee wee...
ReplyDeleteWell Matt, that is a lot worse that your toe that I had to fix up at Sunset Beach. If you wanted to get mail from Peyton and Paige, you could have just asked!
ReplyDeleteWell, Matt. I think it's great you posted the pictures. I haven't worked the E.R. in a while, and I kind of miss the blood and guts. Hope you heal well. Jamie R
ReplyDeleteI am glad that so many of you were able to enjoy my pain!
ReplyDeleteI have made a mental note to try and capture all of my injuries on my camera phone, so I can share them with the world.
