ACK! Bloody fingers...yup. True story! LOL My dear son Chris (14) has been working on a Scout project carving a block of wood into a chess piece (hmm?) with a pocket knife. Well, today was the THIRD time he has cut himself...and third time IS a charm, right? The first two cuts were minor...'ahhh mere' flesh wounds'... and then tonight he comes to me with blood running down his hand!? So I am thinking "what the heck?" and he proceeds to tell me he cut his hand earlier in the day... put a bandaid on real tight and it was fine. Then tonight he took it off and BAM! it starts gushing blood! EWWWWW! Well, we ran it under cold water, put pressure, it just bled more and more....off to the ER we go. We get there and after "the wait" then the grilling by the triage nurse, we get seen. DING DONG TEENAGE SON proceeds to explain that the cut ORIGINALLY happened at about 4:30 this afternoon!!!!??? What the heck! (It was after 9:00 pm by now) OK nix the stitches... but it was ok anyway bc it was so dirty and so old and in a bad spot (next to the nail) that they couldn't stitch anyway. Whew! Whoever inveted DERMABOND skin glue....bless you. So, cleaned the cut, squished it together, glued it up....went home! All is good. That was MY night...how about yours?
OH, and I missed watching the "real" ER on Tv for all this? Geeeeeeeesh!
