You guys will never guess what I did on Monday night.
Effin STABBED myself through the forearm with a frickin piece of glass.
Yep.
I got home with a ton of groceries in hand to find that the framed print I had hanging in the kitchen had plummeted to a glassy death. So I got out the paper towels and bags to start rounding up the shards.
First I pulled out the pieces that were still lodged in the frame, including one particularly large piece which I gingerly placed in the trash bag.
Next it was time to collect the pieces on the floor. I bent down, not realizing that the corner of that first piece was sticking out of the bag right next to me.
You know what’s coming.
I reached over the bag for a piece of glass and felt what I thought was my forearm bumping into something. It wasn’t until after I saw all the blood on the floor that I realized I’d literally SKEWERED PART OF A LIMB. The glass went in so deep that there was an entrance AND an exit wound.
Ma, I been STABBED!
I managed to halt the bleeding and bandage everything up. Then Tuesday I saw my doctor and it turns out that tetanus is still a concern despite that fact that the wound was inflicted by glass rather than metal. Which meant I had the pleasure of waiting almost TWO HOURS for a flippin tetanus shot.
Ma, I been shot AND stabbed!
Then the doctor plied me with antibiotics and a sloppily applied gauze wrap. And just to rub salt in my puncture wound, she advised me to “Be careful next time.”
You mean, since I traipse through broken glass just for the taste of it?
Exactly.
