Anyone ever have one of those days?
I was laying some 6" block and was using the handle of my trowel to get the front down to sit level so there was no lips. I thought maybe there was some dried mortar in the joint and figured a couple of hard hits would sink it...
Well It was 7:30 in the morning and my trowel handle slipped right off the block. Good thing my pinky was there to keep the moment of the trowel swinging from hittin me in the sack.
The following pics are from when I got home at about 5:30.
I took some more closeups after I took the bandage off, but unfortunately they didnt turn out. It was fairly graphic regardless. You could see where my nail starts underneath the skin. Good stuff.
These pics are about a week and half later.
Well I never went to the doctor to get it cleaned out, even though my wife, a nurse and hospital supervisor told me I should. I figured it was clean enough. Sumbeach weeped blood for about 2 days.
I probably should have listened to the wife. (Yes I said it. I should have listened to the wife) I ended up getting a blood infection from the wound. Worst thing ever.
I felt it a couple days a head of time. Achy joints and tired. I thought I was getting the flu. Then after about the 3rd day I woke up with a pounding head ache. I went to work and lasted til about 9 am. I actually threw up from the pain of the headache, and I rarely get headaches or take pills for anything.
Got home, crawled into bed and started sweating and shaking, the freezing balls, then shaking some more. I passed out for about 12 hours. The wife said she thought I was going to be hospitalized, and that my breathing was erratic and I was burning up.
Woke up a couple times through the night, then in the morning called for a doc appt. Couldnt get into the doc until about 12.
Now Im rambling.... Moral of the story is listen to your wife.
