My night in the emergency room

Aug 16, 2003 21:05

PLEASE READ THISFriday night, sometime between 9:10 and 9:30 p.m., as I was walking home from work, I tripped (due to the fact it was dark out, the sidewalk was raised and uneven, and because I'm a klutz) and I fell. This wouldn't be a big deal if that was all. I would just have been scratched up and would have ruined yet another pair of jeans. ( Read more... )

I feel for you man. I was totally devastated when I was sitting in the emergency room three weeks ago when the doctor come in and told me that they had to operate, open me up and cut out the absess infection from my bruised tailbone, and that it would take me over a month to heal from it. I was alone the whole time and it hit me hard. I know what you went through. I keep saying to myself, "you are alive and it could have been much worse." It's not much, but it kind of helps.
Be strong man.

I'm trying to stay strong. I know it could have been worse. I can move all my fingers a little. I didn't hit an artery or sever all the nerves or anything. I'll make it through this. Everything happens for a reason.

Goddamn you were bleeding like that and they still made you wait a few hours?? Shit. I've been in the ER enough lately myself and they should have considered that one of the priority cases. (And I say that becuase they've made me sit there and wait extra hours while they take people who come in after me ( ... )

I'm anti-sexual so dating nurses or anyone for that matter would be a "no". And they're a bit out of my league anyways. lol

I just wish I had good painkillers. All they gave me was prescription Motrin. Bleh.
