So for nearly 4 years when ask what I wanted for bday or Christmas I answered a new commode the old one is too short. wee My Love decided it was not a great gift so I finally bought one myself.
I installed the new one a while back and the old one was sitting on the Back porch waiting to go to the dump. and I kept forgetting to put it out on trash day.
So last night after a really grueling but productive day, just as it started to rain again, around 7:30, I go to pick it up. I grab it by the tank and my left hand in the hole as it was sitting upside down to get all the water out.
I carry it about 8 feet and suddenly the porcelain breaks creating a ceramic knife razor sharp in the crapper hole.
so craig call me just as I come in I tell him dude get over here now I have to go to the hospital.
triage was great I had a squirter so they took me right back. but regardless I still sat a while waiting,
they took X Rays because they refused to hear it was not a crushing blow there was no broken bone I knew I had cut nerves and tendons , I saw them.
so I wait It was not till 1:00 am the the physicians assistant actually opened the wound to look inside and removed the porcelain bits. before simply closing the outer skin, because no emergency surgeon was on call.
What annoys me is that the sooner these things are put back the faster they heal.
I went to our hospital because It was closer, I will not make that mistake again If I had just went on to Halifax a surgeon would have been on call as it stand now the plan is tha i call the doctor's office this morning and he is to see me fri. at the latest possible moment Over 72 hours.
this means that instead of two months healing it may be as much as 4 and nerves may not regrow proper.
I am aggravated I may never play a fiddle.
