Live from the ER

[ncountry]

Sitting on the bed waiting to be stitched up...sounds like all they want to do is stitch cut closed...a little worried that maybe I should get 2nd opinion... Cut down bother me , I could have taped it up myself..numb finger I'm not fond of.... It's my trigger finger too for those left hand shots..

[turkeyfeathers]

What happened is the obvious question?!

[ncountry]

Lol.. I posted it and a pic on "live from the stand" thread..long story short...some $%&& glued my lock on treestand ..in my attempt at freeing it up, I stupidly stabbed myself in the hand..

[turkeyfeathers]

Ballz. I just saw that. Ouch! Sorry some DB did that which caused that.

[ncountry]

With any luck ,feeling will return in few days... Got my tetanus shot updated anyways...blood pressure is pretty high too. Maybe time to get a doc and have a physical..lol., haven't seen one in 30 years... Overdue

An't that bad, thumb and pinkey are the most important fingers. It will throb for a while . Cut my thumb off they sewed it back, it works but no feeling. , cut the tip off of another finger they threw it away said it's not worth chancing an infection and they will have to take more of the finger off. Just do what the dr's say.

That's the spirit. Who needs 10 ?!

I dislocated my pinkie, it was flipped sideways. When I was filling out the form at ER I put "Concert Pianist" under occupation. Highly recommend, I got some sympathetic looks!

I sliced up my left hand trigger finger real good during bow when I was gutting my deer. It was a little numb for a while during the healing process. Feels fine now.

I did, ( my muzzleloader)and yes I did think about shooting the lock off.. I went walkabout for awhile instead..

That's good news ..papist... I am not a guy that normally goes to the doc for a cut that I could have taped up.. The numbing shots before they stitched hurt worst than stabing myself with a hunting knife.the instant numbness was a little different than what I had experienced in any of my past ,usually self inflicted, wounds..ha.ha

Blood pressure rises naturally with age. This is normal. Also, a single reading is no indicator of health. You need to take several readings over the course of the day, over several days, and then take an average from the results. There are all kinds of reasons why pressure rises over the short term. For me, it's when I don't eat. Taking pressure readings in a fastest state can also skew results.

 

You can get good monitors for home use these days.

My thought exactly.. I think my average pressure sitting here on the couch isn't even close to what it is sitting in the hospital for like the 2nd time in my adult life.

Agree..but remember...it's called the silent killer for a reason...I went in because I was seeing "stars"'''186 / 135..Dr. practically threw A pill down my throat ,saying it's a wonder I hadn't stroked out already. This year they cut meds. In half. Better safe than sorry....

See it may be a good thing you cut your self, now you can get other things checked. I need to go for a physical too my BP is a little high on the systolic side.Feel better.

[ATbuckhunter]

Looked like it was a nasty cut. Hopefully you have a speedy recovery!
