Up all night, as usual. Took the dogs out last night about 3am. I always go with them in the middle of the night to make sure there is no barking. It was nice and cool. My loopers were right there on the patio table.
I thought just grab those and cut back some overgrowth. Instead, I tripped myself on a tree root and made a face plant. When I went down my knee landed right on another tree root. Let me tell you, I had a heck of time getting up.
I did not see blood, so I just thought that is going to be a big bruise. I got in the house went to grab a towel to wipe off the dirt. Thats when the blood came. The dirt had ground into the wound and kept it from bleeding.
I went and took a shower because roll around in the grass had me itching all over. Sat for the next five hours trying to get the blood to stop. It was like a slow leak in a tire. Every time I had to get and down it started again.
Nothing to do but got to the doctor. There was one little part of it that was quit deep. She had to rinse it out, it hurt like worse than you know what. I admit, I screamed like a girl, right I am a girl, so it is okay! She pressed around the wound to make sure she got all the grime out.
She wanted to try gluing it. If it does not hold, I will have to go back and get stitches. Sent in a script for antibiotic, something for inflammation and orders for a tetanus.
Here you are at the doctor and you would think that they could give you the tetanus. Guess what, she tells me Medicare will not pay for it in office. They will cover it at the pharmacy. Is anyone else aware of this?
I am home waiting for an email the meds are ready.
So, take it from me don't get silly ideas at 3am in the dark. I like to think I took the fall for
@hawkdon but someone else needs to take the next one for him!
