doctor visit

Jul 03, 2006 13:55

The advice nurse said I'd need a tetanus shot because it has been "so long" (6 years) since my last one. The doctor said I don't need a tetanus shot because I'm up-to-date. Go figure. I'm glad I didn't need it though.

( slightly icky )

health, pictures

Yikes! Try knitting or typing with that - actually, I'm impressed you've typed this entry!

I'm not hitting the keys with it. I'm getting pretty good at hitting the space bar with my index finger instead. (I don't seem to be able to coordinate my left thumb to hit the space bar instead. I have to really think about it if I do that.

Lol (about the hitchhiking injury). Get thee some fingertip bandaids if that's all it takes! I can't imagine you can knit like that at all.

Scott wants to know if you cut your thumb with a chainsaw? Lol. He also says "She should be very careful. Those are very sharp!" in a little "all-knowing" voice.

Yikes! I think that band-aid would go up a lot higher if I had cut it with a chainsaw.

But yes, he's right, they are very sharp! :)

Oh yeah, my dad ran out and bought me some yesterday. I didn't bring any to the doctor's office, though. :)

that photo is begging for a proctological accident joke there somewhere. i'm thinking "proctological" isn't a word. but you get my drift. :)

i can't believe you sliced your finger tip off. i'm so sorry. seriously. you 'sound' so calm. i'm glad it's not much more serious.

I think protological is a word, or if not, it should be. ;)

It's not nearly as bad as this giant bandage makes it look, really. I mean I did take off a sizable piece, but I didn't go very deep. I'm making myself shudder now!

Can't help but think of "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues".

abigailvr July 4 2006, 03:38:40 UTC

Yes! That is what I kept thinking of today. What is that character's name? I even got to thinking that I should reread that book. :)

bezigebij July 4 2006, 04:11:14 UTC

Sissy Hankshaw. Yes, I think you should reread it. It might amuse you.

When I broke my arm I spent 6 weeks in a splint, bent 90 degrees at the elbow, palm up. I looked like I was looking for tips everywhere I went! I think yours looks funnier :) I might invest in some small gauze squares and little finger cots (like rubber gloves, but just the finger part) and a thick piece of tape to hold the cot on. Lots and lots of neosporin too!

When I dress it myself, it's not that huge. I'll have to post a picture of my much less ridiculous looking bandage. :)

I couldn't find the finger condoms (I'm easily amused ;) so I bought a giant box of latex gloves for showering and cooking. Oh yes, and a large tube of anti-bacterial goo.
