Whiskey = my healthcare plan

[spooky_nine]

I was trying to walk out of my room the other day when I accidentally slammed my foot down on my belt buckle. The pointy part that goes in the belt holes went through my heel.



I didn't feel it at first, just heard a loud pop. When I realized I was connected to my belt I screamed for Greg. He brought me some paper towels to stop the bleeding and then disappeared into the other room. Apparently the blood almost made him pass out. He's so good in a crisis.

Greg wants me to get a tetanus shot since I haven't had one since I was a tiny child. I don't really think it's necessary, since I doubt my belt buckle is covered in the bacteria that causes it. Plus it's like $190 now that I don't have insurance. I washed it really well and irrigated it was sterile saline, so I think I'll be okay. If not, Greg has instructions to update my LJ to let everyone know.

I can't put any weight on it, but pain pills and whiskey are helping with that.

I've probably stepped on that thing hundreds of times without any issue but a few moments of pain, but I guess this time around it was with enough force to shove that dull thing through my skin.

Did you have to get a tetanus shot? Did it burn?

[liahz.livejournal.com]

[spooky-nine.livejournal.com]

OUCH! I stepped on a thumbtack once on the sidewalk but my tetanus was up to date so I was okay.

I'm really irresponsible when it comes to my overall health.

"pain pills and whiskey are helping with that"
self-medication ftw!

Hahahaha not like I have a choice, but tbh I'd probably only get shitty pain pills if I did go to the doctor about it.

I lost my job back in February, and the job industry in this shitty town sucks.
