Gotta love the Emergency Room!

[ronnykmarshall]

Picture it!

ronnykmarshall walking into the kitchen and tries to step over the "doggy gate" with a glass in his hand.

Just call me "Grace".

Several stitches later ....... here I am.

[TZ]

2. Yikes!

Well at least you didn't stick your hand through a window..My younger sister did that once and had to have both stitches AND a skin graft...:scared:
:hug:

[Aristus]

3. Oh, ronny...

Hope you're okay, man! :pals:

[siligut]

4. Really? What was your experience in the ER?

I guess if you were bleeding profusely you didn’t have to wait 6 hours. Where are your cuts? Glad you are OK.

[ronnykmarshall]

8. I cut my right hand

and yeah they got to me pretty quick.

[Bertha Venation]

5. Oh. My god.

:hug: Poor sweet Ronny! :hug: I am sorry. :( May you heal quickly.

[ronnykmarshall]

10. Hurts like ca-ca right now.

xoxoxo

[prolesunited]

12. Did they give you any drugs?

Sorry to hear about it, but glad it wasn't more serious.

I was washing dishes once and a glass slipped and broke. As I was trying to grab it, I sliced my wrist open. When I was in ER, the hardest part was convincing them it wasn't a suicide attempt.

19. I have go get some more today.

I have the coolest boss. I'm working from home and was on a conference call and people were asking me questions and he chimmed in "let's cut Ronny some slack ... he's on pain pills". After he called me and told me to just chill and not worry about anymore meetings today.

6. Aughhh!

One of my kids fell off a recliner arm and landed face-first on a juice glass, once.

Similar result.

:scared:

[KitchenWitch]

7. Hope you heal quickly.

I was in the ER Wednesday night.

I have pneumonia. Oh joy.

[lizziegrace]

9. Ouch...

:(

[Marrah_G]

11. Owie- be careful!

[MajorChode]

13. Yes, but think of the stories you can tell

I got that scar in a bar fight....

[skygazer]

16. I've got a straight scar across my neck from surgery

I tell people a mugger tried to slit my throat but I managed to disarm him, beat him up and hold him until the cops arrived, all while bleeding profusely. :)

[crispini]

24. I love it.

Fantastic story! :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

14. Ooh! Ouch! You sound as graceful as me.

:hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

15. Nice move, Grace.

Hand cuts hurt like crazy the first couple of days -- hope it's feeling better soon.

[skygazer]

17. Back home they knew me by name at the ER

I once sliced the tip of my finger nearly off while boning a roast (because to bone a roast, you hold it firmly with one hand and cut straight toward that hand with the knife :eyes: ) - when I arrived at the ER, the doctor simply said in an exasperated way, "skygazer, what have you done NOW?" :rofl:

Glad you're okay - hurts, doesn't it?

[Cabcere]

23. Ouch!

Glad you're OK now. :hug:

I had a similar experience this summer - broke my ankle and wrist, had to have surgery for the ankle but they just set the wrist initially. When I went back to the doc for a follow-up visit about a week and a half later, the X-rays showed that my wrist wasn't healing properly, so I had to have another surgery for that. It was supposed to be outpatient, but I ended up staying overnight, and one of my nurses from the ankle-related hospital stay happened to walk by my room and see me there. She came in and asked pretty much the same thing - "What are you doing back here??" :rofl: I told her I had just missed her and the other nurses so much that I just had to come back, and when she didn't believe me (I wonder why?), I told her what the real deal was. :)

[FloridaJudy]

18. Ouch!

Quick healing to you. Maybe Dr. House could give you something for the pain...

[Cabcere]

22. Wow, that picture...

...I find it oddly sexy. :blush:

/not a drug addict
//Hugh Laurie addict, maybe...

[ronnykmarshall]

28. mmmm!

Are those spain spills .... I mean PAIN PILLS in that tub?

[WinkyDink]

20. {{ronnykmarshall}} and {{Kitchenwitch}}! My ER rocks! Been there in the last two years

for falling hard on both shins (X-rayed, nothing broken!); and getting a foot and then lower-leg infection from first scraping my foot raw and then ignoring it (anti-biotics, tetanus shot).

[Cabcere]

21. Yikes!

:hug: If it makes you feel any better, this summer I managed to break my ankle in two places by stepping the wrong way on a loose brick...and the very next day, broke and dislocated my wrist while attempting to hobble around on one crutch. x( I'm pretty much back to normal now, although I'll probably never again be able to pass through airport security unhindered (metal plates, screws, and pins in both my wrist and my ankle!). :hi: Hope you heal up nicely, and soon!

[ronnykmarshall]

25. Update: I slept almost ALL day

Took one of my "dolls" and zonked out from 12noon until 4:30.
