CAUTION: Post talks about blood and has pics of my finger all bloody. If you don’t like that don’t read this post.
So today I didn’t really have anything planned in the morning so my mom told me that I was going to help her with yard work.
I help do this ritual every year, we have to cut down the the plants and rake up all of the leaves from out massive cottonwood tree which drops more sticks than leaves. Typical Fall stuff.
Right off the bat I start cutting down some of our flowers and trying to be efficient I accidentally got my finger in the hedge trimmer. It hurt, a lot. I ran inside putting it underwater and stuff and my parents bandaged me up.
My dad who is kinda a doctor told me that it was so jagged and weird of a cut that it shouldn’t need stitches. So we bandaged it up and I got back to work on the yard. Big mistake.
I was ripping out a buckthorn very vigorously and finally got it out when my mom gave me some clippers. I looked down to see blood on the clippers which had gone through my bandaids and work gloves.
We went back to my kitchen to stop the profuse bleeding. We decided we needed a pro. So my neighbor, mom, and I went to my neighbor’s friends office. The friend was a very nice plastic surgeon.
He told me that my cut looked bad, great…. So we went back to a operating room to stitch it up. He numbed it so my finger was very fat and senseless and proceeded with the stitching. 6 stitches!! I’ll be fine I just can’t swim for the next week plus I’ll have a sick scar to show all the guys ;). Here are some pics. VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED its gross but cool
Next post is on my date saturday night with Duke 🙂
