…I went to the ER.
I haven’t really posted through any of this Covid-19 stuff but after today’s events – I guess I will. We have been working from home for two weeks now and I have officially hurt myself while on the clock.
The story varies because one should not admit to many people that they were staining wood with a rag in-between phone calls when suddenly a sliver of wood penetrates my thumb and then breaks off when I try to remove it. Since we are on stay-at-home orders, I plan to fix this mistake on my own. Well – I ask a friend to kindly pull it out with tweezers which was easier said than done. We decided it must be cut out and I sent her to get the only razor blade that I could think of and as she returned, I fainted. I didn’t pass out once, but twice, so on to the ER we went. In the end I am left with realizing that for that $150 I could have probably just bought a new fish tank stand instead of staining my old one but if I ever get a compliment on that this – this story will come to mind.
If I get the virus – this little stunt may be the reason. With that said, I think I am supposed to shower when I get home and I did’t. I had to get a tetanus shot and the multiple shots of lidocaine were killer. I was screaming and cursing and it was anything but calm and collected. They were quick and nice. I was screened for covid-19 symptoms before I could even go inside. I didn’t see another patient the whole time I was in there.
