kick that alien body's ass, Sprite!
Holy fucking sliver! It's out...but they had to knock me unconscious and all (that was great) so I could not take pix for you bitches.
The thing was hudge...he said it was a very broad wooden splinter with all kinds of gross gelatinous bodily secretions that had formed all around it. He asked "what were you doing?" I told him...making a ski chair! He said "Oh yeah, of course--I get a lot of that here!" Luv the smart ass docs. ;)
So anyway I even got a few stitches and all. That medication was GREAT! Man, I didn't feel a thing. I'm talking to the anesthesia guy, who was a hoot...and then next thing you know Im like "Are they going to do this or what?" And the nurse says "it's done!" They knocked me out that deeply and instantly. Devine!
Of course my lovely cousin is taking all kinds of care of me so she picks me up and drops me at her place to rest and even feeds me. Then she went back to work. I went to get up to do something because I'm not the type who can sit still for long (I should be sleeping really, I just took a vicodin but I"m not even tired). So I kind of lose my balance and put my hand down and "OWCH!!!" Ugh, I lift the bandage and I tore the stitches a little. I'm such a calamity.
It will be fine though. I just tightened the bandage. It's weird not seeing the alien body there anymore. I was growing attached to it. I even had a pet name for it..."Fucking Splinter." Oh well, everything has its season I guess. And it was time to say goodbye to the lodged alien body.
I asked if I could take it home in a little tube of formaldehyde and they said "No."
Spoil-sports!
Well, back to your regularly scheduled time-wasting and nonsense. I'm skiing tomorrow. Hope I don't rip any more stitches. That shit feels awful...like little needles pulling at your skin. Ewwwww!
Sprite
Congrats on surviving. My ex had a pretty large splinter in her heel that she got while walking around Italy for a month. It callused over and I got to cut it out, as soon as I made the first cut the thing literally exploded out of her skin. It was awesome.
this thread makes my toes curl. so glad you got it out, spritely. did he let you keep it?
Did they dress you up in one of those backless hospital gowns? Just wondering.
BD4A needs to read more closely.
Glad you're OK, sprite. Is it your "One Bean Salad Tossing" hand? :D:D:D:D
Salad tossing? :eek::eek: Glad to hear you survived sprite!
Was this supposed to be a joke? :nonono2:Quote:
