I had an unlucky day. Everything started normal, work as usual. That day I was laminating name tags and was cropping them with an x-acto knife. After about cutting 50 or so I was getting impatient and starting putting more pressure to get the job done quicker. Well I should have taken my time because I added to much pressure, slipped the knife on the metal ruler and sliced my index finger in half, threw the nail. As soon as I lifted my hand blood dripped all over the place. I quickly went grabbed some paper towels, got my manager and she applied pressure on my finger with the towels. The paramedics were called and around 5 minutes they were looking at the cut and telling me I was going to need stitches. One guy was telling me my skin was inflated and wouldn't attach itself without stitches. So I was asked If I could drive myself to the hospital, I said no and tried to milk the situation for all it was worth, not mentioning I lost a lot of blood and was shaking uncontrollably. Once we were at the first floor, one of the paramedics asked me if i was going to faint, i told him no and way, he told me a story. He said he knew what it was like to faint, and his first time was at a hockey game. He toke a puck the chain, tried to play it off with the tuff guy attitude. Looked at the icey floor covered in blood. He went to the bathroom, checked out his chain, could see the bone of his chain, threw up and passed out. One hell of a story i thought. So Michelle Gunn, (companies administrator) drive me to my personal doctor, instead of the hospital, only find out their insurance doesn't cover me at a clinic. My mum came, michelle and lisa left back to the office, and I went to JFK hospital. After 4 hours of waiting in the ER room, I was treated by the lovely nurse Tina Dochniak. Basically what she did was numb my finger by injecting it with a needle full of anesthetics. It hurt like hell but she was real careful with me. She let it sit for a few minutes, to make sure it was completely numb. Alright, now the healing begins. Tina started to stitch me while I turned and looked away, my mum witnessed the whole operation. During the procedure I asked what type of needle she was using, told me it was a curved 4 gage, and that the color of the sutures were black, to match my awesome shirt of course. To tell the truth i didnt feel anything during the operation. Its like to get no pain to need more pain. After she was done, she perscribed me vicodin codeine, and some anti-biotics to prevent infection. My finger was all patched up by 7pm and had Papa John's pizza when I got home. Was a pretty weird day. Friday the 13th, Oh and I got 7 stitches. Werid huh? Even did the podcast that night. heh, By the way, new song is called Smooth Session, got Raket and Jed on the track freestylin. Made the beat & melodies in two days. w00t, iight well its sunday, I have to go to hospital and have them check out my finger, to see if there is any infection. Iight guys, keepin u locked, peace.
