Gah, I'm destined to a life of pain apperently.
This past Wednesday, around 6:30am; I woke up out of a sound slumber. I thought my mother was going "Oh! Oh! Oh!" which is the sound she makes whenever Bridget (my 5lb chi) has a seizure; which signals me to grab her valium so I can give her an injection in her...well, her anus. It's the quickest way to get the medicine to her without using an IV.
So, I'm sleeping and I think Mom is going "Oh! Oh!" so I jump out of bed, and I land on the floor hard. I um...sleep au natural so I grabbed the blanket to wrap around me to get decent; I mean my dog is having a seizure, no time to put on actual clothes! Well I heard this "CRASH! SMASH!" and I think in my half-asleep mode that I pulled something off of my bed or the something and that it hit the floor.
In fact my left foot had smashed a thick mason drinking jar. I stupidly put my left foot down...again. So I flung open the door, and I look at mom who was using the facilities (which is right across from my bedroom), and she asked me what was the matter.
No dog having a seizure apperently. I felt a pain when I put my left foot down on the floor, looking down without my glasses I see a little nick on the top of my foot and see a thin trail of blood trailing down off the side. I think "Oh, I hurt myself. Huh, better grab a little bandage or something."
I do an honest to God double-take once I see the floor beneath my foot. Big, I mean
BIG plops of blood all over this little two foot square area in front of my door. I had deeply cut into the flesh between my ring and pinkie toes. The cut was 1/4 inch deep at it's deepest. I probably lost 1/2 cup of blood that morning and it also took me a whole dang hour to stop the bleeding finally.
I talked about it with Doctor Korman later that morning and he agreed with my remark, which was "If it had cut any deeper, the blood would have been literally gushing out, instead of dripping out wouldn't it have?" He glued it shut, using Dermabond, or whatever it's called, and he told me to keep a bandage over it for the next week for the subsequent draining and to stay off of it as much as possible. So, I'm out of work for the next week.
Hope I don't get fired over this.
Like my last job at the Airport.
I really don't wanna lose another job due to injury, let alone lose another job period. I love you guys so much, you're like extended family to me.
