We have had days and days of rain. Finally a hot sunny summer day.
I went out to dig up 8 bushes that are 8 years old, they are pretty big and it's back breaking labor.....for me anyway. woo
I hosed the base to make it easier to dig and jumped, with wet tennis shoes, onto the shovel. A big brach drove into my shin. Holy Crap.... the pain.
Do I go to urgent care and spend a $75 copay or just try and take care of it mysefl? Can't take the pain...gotta hobble in.
Dr. gives me 6 injections to numb around the area but doesn't wait for it to take affect before he takes a saline syringe and inserts it directly into the puncture wound. amp; I hadn't eaten all day, was zy and dizzy from pain so asked if I could lie down. LOL He proceeded to poke, prod and dig out little pieces of dirty bark before sewing 6 stiches.
4 bushes left in the ground, new plants can't be planted and I have to be off my leg for 2 weeks. :(
Rant over.... things could be worse but still.......
Finally a hot sunny day and THIS happens......

Sorry to hear Gabby. Also, looks like the doctor got to you quickly enough so it should be ok.
Perhaps there could be someone with you to assist when your leg heals.
Thanks Pacer. I have a husband and kids who are here to help. I should have let hubby dig out the dang bushes but when I get something in my mind......

Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. I hope u r doing better but this is a reminder to everyone to avoid manual labor and stick to online gambling. The worse injury u get from this is having to put your index finger in a splint from clicking your mouse 2 much.
Ahhh you too are priceless and so so witty ! -

I hope it won't go that far...to think otherwise is so horrible.
I almost lost my pinkie yesterday from shutting the sliding glass door and it got stuck...lost half of finger and nail...tried so hard not to cry but couldn't help.
I was thinking how painful it must been for you...
Hang in there and please let us know how it went in the doc's office. -

You all are so very sweet for caring!!
It's been a long week. Yes, Blue was right. Started with cellulitis, staph infection and then turned Septic.
Percocet did NOTHING to relieve the pain. It felt like the wound was going to expode... still does while trying to sleep.
Dr. was feeling for a fluid pocket which she would lance if she found one. Told her I was hoping she did to relieve the pressure until she informed me if that was the case, she would have to remove the stitches to open the wound and I would have to pack it daily. amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; Thank God there was no fluid pocket!!
Who would have thought THIS could cause such problems.... -

Ouch! Nan. I hope your pinky is feeling better. It's weird how the smallest area/injury can hurt like hell.
I remember when I was younger, I got my thumb slammed in the hinge side of a front door. My thumb nail fell off at Lions Counry Safari (where wild animals roam) and they didn't have a band-aid! -

Gabby...
I was thinking the very same thing while I was crying with the pain...how can this small injury hurts like son of gun.:)
I felt miserable because it was the first time hubby took both monkeys out to the city to give me a whole day off...while screaming like a maniac and called my girl and thiws is what she said on the phone..........'Mom...we just can't live you alone...every time you re alone without us, something always happens.' >:( -

I'm on the road to recovery!!!1
** Happy Dance **
The old and new bushes are staring me down but I'm afraid to touch them.....LOL
Better wait til the stitches come out.
Again.. thanks guys for being a nice support... my husband doesn't think ANY injury is a big deal. I broke my heel once and drove myself to the ER and back home (with my left foot) once it was casted. He's a great guy, just doesn't get riled about injuries, unless it's our kids. -

DAMN IT TO HELL! >:( :'(
Just spent 3 1/2 hours at the Doctor for what I thought would be suture removal.
Wound still hurts and is swollen, bleeding and oozing pus.
Dr. x-rayed it and asked if I had been shot and have shrapnel in my leg. Uh.. NO. How in the hell do I have metal in my leg?!?
He was throwing around the words.. MRSA and Necrotizing Fasciitis. Told the nurse to disinfect the room.
He wanted to admit me... but I begged to stay at home until the cultures come back. He let me since I can walk. Have 2 more antibiotics.
As it is... elevation, soaking, meds and if ANY changes... straight to the hospital. -

I really hope it won't go further...as it is it has been enough amount of pains and suffering.
Wish there is something and anything I could suggest you to make the pains go away...just feeling helpless...
Hope it will all better and over soon.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
