(old search) |  Slit Posted July 25, 2005 at 12:09:00 PM by Bean SDP went off well, and I'll be blogging details later this week at sdp.beanblog.com. One memorable event, for me anyway, happened as I was filling the plunge pond. I had about 30-40 frozen 1-gallon jugs of ice and I was slicing them open with my favorite box cutter/utility knife. One second I was happily slicing through plastic and dropping large chunks of ice into the water, then next second I was bleeding profusely from the wrist. "OH SHIT" I immediately thought. Nobody else was out there and I wasn't sure whether to sneak inside to teh bathroom or run screaming through the basement yelling for help. Luckily, Angie peeoped through the door and saw me, dripping blood, and summoned a few other to help me out. Turns out I missed my artery by about 1/8" of an inch. It was a deep cut, and lengthwise (down the street, not across), and you could clearly see multiple layers of skin/flesh that were cut through. Suffice to say, I was quite lucky I didn't really eff myself up on that one. My mom and dad went to CVS and my neightbor Terri (nurse) applied the skin closure kit to the wound. Less than an hour later, I was back in action, and plungin'. The thing that keeps running through my mind is how little resistence my skin/flesh provided for that knife... I didn't even know I was cut until I saw red. A swinging arc a little to the left would have definately spelled disaster. NEW: pic1 and pic2 2 comments Tara (July 25, 2005 at 07:50:03 PM): Damn! I am very very glad you are OK. Str8N8 (July 26, 2005 at 01:21:51 PM): I have a matching scar Bean but on the other side of the artery. I believe it occurred during my ninja training as a young child. | Categories Archives August 2010 July 2010 June 2010 May 2010 April 2010 March 2010 August 2009 July 2009 June 2009 May 2009 April 2009 March 2009 February 2009 January 2009 December 2008 September 2008 August 2008 July 2008 June 2008 May 2008 April 2008 March 2008 February 2008 January 2008 December 2007 November 2007 October 2007 September 2007 August 2007 July 2007 June 2007 May 2007 April 2007 March 2007 February 2007 January 2007 December 2006 November 2006 October 2006 September 2006 August 2006 July 2006 June 2006 May 2006 April 2006 March 2006 February 2006 January 2006 December 2005 November 2005 October 2005 September 2005 August 2005 July 2005 June 2005 May 2005 April 2005 March 2005 February 2005 January 2005 December 2004 November 2004 October 2004 September 2004 August 2004 July 2004 June 2004 May 2004 April 2004 March 2004 February 2004 January 2004 December 2003 November 2003 October 2003 September 2003 August 2003 July 2003 June 2003 May 2003 April 2003 March 2003 Admin |
