Thanks homies ! some bruising showing up around my eyes, but feeling pretty damn good considering.
NOT trying to steal Judy's thunder just seems neither of us had anything better to do than visit the big house
Hope you are feeling better my friend.
Yup.. they use a splash block on the cut edges to desensitize, then inject into the wound edges to block nerves on either side of the cut and deep tissues, in my case right down to the bone. Like I told the ER nurse when she said "you did a pretty good job of that ! " ... "Go Big or go home"
apparently I was in good form last night and kept the ER staff and a few fellow patients laughing. Told one guy with a cut hand " there goes my modelling career." He said glad it wasn't him because he actually had a part-time modelling gig to do this week.
A lotta cuts it seems ... the needle nurse came around with a whole tray of tetanus shots and was asking around .... "who needs a tetanus shot ?"
Was actually a very smooth and efficient ER visit from sign in to CT results and out ! I was third in line to start but when I left there were 40 folks waiting ... beat the rush ! This hospital is the lead trauma center around town so weekends are hectic and sometimes bizarre. Had my resection and most follow up here so I was in their system and breezed thru the registration process. Guess there are some perks for having a CRC resumé !
On the way out what appeared to be a homeless guy wrapped in a blanket, sitting on the floor, saw my ninja head gear and said " Hey hope you are feeling better now friend." I thanked him and wished him well too.
Thought that was kind of a nice end to my evening. Hope his got better too.
Cheers All
CR ... on the mend
