My ER Visit!

I am so mad...yesterday I was trying to earn money for my Utah Trip next month. So I was cleaning at Erics work. I was vacuuming under a stainless steal table and pulled out the vacuum and hit my thumb on the raw steal. Well Stainless Steal cuts fast, deep, clean. I sliced the top side of my thumb. I went to the bathroom to rinse it and it kept bleeding. I was thinking it would be ok without stitches. Well...until I lifted up the skin and we could see the thumb tendin move. So I cut it too deep. It was so gross...I started to feel sick. I don't like exposed body parts..yuck! It even made Eric yelp.


So of course it happens after hours...just my luck. We called around to find a clinic but had no luck. So we headed to the ER. We only were in the ER for 2 hrs total. Not too bad. I got a tentis shot...Which hurts really bad today. feels like someone punched my arm really hard. Then I got 3 big stitches on my thumb. The doctor checked my tendin...I think I barely missed it. I am glad I can move my thumb ok. I watched some of the stitch process...it was just yucky for me. Now I have a thumb wrap and it has a constant little pain. Not too bad but it does hurt.



I can't wait to get my $700-1000 bill for this one. I am so mad. I hate to waste money. Now I will not have a lot of play money in Utah. Not happy!



Here is my picture...My computer is finally back! Update (July 5th) it is healing great! The scare isn't too bad. Still a little sore if I hit my thumb on something.

  1. I saw this on FB and then had to check out the blog. I feel bad for you. Its hard to earn money when you spend more on medical than what you made! Ughh! I hope that you have a better day today and that no one punches you in the other arm. LOL. Maybe you should start wearing leather gloves when you clean... HAHAHA!
