my room is really small and can get stuffy, we've spent some time in the 70s here. I tried to open one of my windows and it didn't open so I tried the other. I got it open but it quickly shut, right on my right middle finger. My finger was literally trapped in there. I didn't know how I could get it out with only one arm since it took 2 arms to get it open but I couldn't risk leaving my finger in there forever (I was home alone). I tried just pulling out the finger but it wouldn't move. Then with a bunch of might I used my bad left arm to get the window open and pull out my finger. It looked awful! I have lots more pictures I'll post sometime soon. There was blood all under the nail and it hurt so bad I almost passed out. I was walking around trying to think of something to do and I felt so naseous and spacey. I had to lie down on my bed so I didn't pass out. Then somehow I made it downstairs to the couch without passing out and emailed an SOS to robreed and jenn to call me at home. robreed called me and I cried for awhile before I could get the story out. Then he talked to me until the horrible pain was gone. Later that night the finger itself was pretty swollen and throbbing. I called the ER to see if I needed to come in but they said I could wait until morning if I could stand the pain. I found a website about draining the blood so I tried this. First with a couple different parts of my Swiss Army knife and then a needle. That worked the best but the hole was very tiny. Blood came out but didn't help the swollen pulsating fleshy part of my finger. I got addicted to this though and stuck the needle in there a lot but I was chicken so that's why I didn't get the knife, paper clip or nail to work, though I tried. First thing this morning I went to the doctor. I didn't sleep well because of the throbbing. They took an x-ray to make sure it wasn't broken, especially since I put a hole in the nail. If it was broken there'd be a greater chance that I'd cause an infection. It wasn't broken and there wasn't anything to do about it. He just said it'd take several weeks to heal. I also had my vision checked since I've been seeing blurry in class and it wasn't perfect as it used to be. He said it wasn't bad, I didn't need glasses but if I wanted to get them to help see better in class I could. So now I'm looking into getting glasses but I've never had to do this before so I feel stupid and I don't want to spend lots of money. I called a place and they said $72 for the exam and prescription. Then I have to pay for glasses and I don't want to spend a fortune but I don't want some shitty cheap ugly ones either. This is my face we're talking about.

Hi, my name is Heather. I'm a 2nd year vet student.
Email me.
I love giraffes! I wish I had a pet giraffe and I would name it Mr. Giraffe. One time I had a pet elephant and his name was Loyal. I sent him a letter in The Jungle when I was in undergrad but I don't think it made it there. Loyal was cool! Life sucks when you have to study all the time but don't, never relax without feeling guilty and never go out dancing! |
