broken ceramic tile is sharp.

Helping a friend take up old tile and backer board. The board wasn't glued to the sub floor so it was coming up in decent size sections when we pried it off on the screws. I was backed up against a wall, straddling a section while pulling it up and it breaks free sooner that I expected....😱 Thankfully, Johnson was hanging on the other side. 5 stitches in, 11 stitches out.

I can't hang out with Larry unless supervised from now on. I'm guessing $1K for the ER. I can't even play the sympathy card because it, strangely/thankfully, doesn't hurt much.

Looks like a good suture line to me. NSFW, bare thigh....😀

Always think.... if this gives where is it going to go? That's why you don't pry stuff towards your body or face.

Glad it wasn't more serious, but usually these lessons are learned with just a pretty nasty bruise, not stitches and possible castration.

Pansy. A real man would have rubbed some dirt in it and walked it off

That was the plan. Not the real man part but the dirt part. Extend the seriousness out for another week. "If it weren't for my injury...blah, blah"...Mother's Day and anniversary next weekend...slack ass excuse.😀 But she's onto me. Crafty woman.
 
ER visit is probably way more than $1k. It's $2k for hospitals around here just to walk in the door.

Sorry about your injury.

Spiderwebs to staunch the blood flow, then chew some willow bark for pain.

aspirin...blood thinner...why do you want me to bleed out? Mad because I missed the femoral? Do you know my wife?

Nothing beats pain for a teacher. Leg and pocket book. Yeah, my brain was in my left shoe when I was doing it.

Oh, joy. My kid had x-rays, a couple of months back, on his wrist...$880. I'm hoping it won't be a lot more that that. Numbed, cleaned, stitched it and sent me on my way.

Thanks.

Definitely not willow bark.

A compress made out of cloth and honey would stem the bleeding and act as an antibiotic. For pain just smoke some weed.

Heh, never actually chewed willow bark, but my understanding is that it contains acetylsalicylic acid, i.e. aspirin.

Edit: from wikipedia...

The active ingredient of Aspirin was first discovered from the bark of the willow tree in 1763 by Edward Stone of Wadham College, Oxford University. He had discovered salicylic acid, the active metabolite of aspirin

So I will leave it on my list of home remedies I will never actually use.

It demonstrates the problems with healthcare in America that the guy at the desk didn't get the joke.

What demonstrates current healthcare is that everything you really needed to treat that wound is sold off the shelf at a typical CVS for $30 or so, that or one of the urgent care places for maybe a couple hundred.

Yea but it is a blood thinner, he needs to stop the bleeding.

The honey compress will stop the bleeding and also act as an antibiotic. Honey can kill MRSA.

For pain, not really sure, but weed would work in a pinch. Although cuts don't hurt that bad once bandaged compared to other injuries.
