APPLYING FOR A FRANKENSTEIN JOB.

OK, SO THIS IS HOW IS GOES. I WAS CUTTING A 4X4 BOARD INTO CUTE LITTLE 4X4 BLOCKS SO I COULD MAKE A CUTE JOY STACKING BLOCK. These blocks look pretty harmless. I was using a big table saw and evidentaly I was not holding on tight enough to the block and one of them came back and hit me in the chin and the other one hit me by my eye brow. I had enough sense about me to turn off the saw and then the first thing I checked were my teeth. They were all there. By then the blood is gushing down my face, so I put my sweatshirt over my face and made it into the house and into my bathroom. THATS WHERE IT GOT UGLY!! I looked in the mirror and instantly got dizzy and faint. I got the phone and the only number I could remember was Dads so I called him and calmly asked him to call Traci, that I needed to go to hospital and I needed a PLastic Surgeon. (at least i admitted it this time, last time i cut my finger almost off I wrapped it and went to bed) Well no one in the neighbor hood was home so Mike closed the shop at 5:30 and came and got me. (by the way, before taking me to the hospital he turned the recorder on the TV so he would not miss his shows while at the hospital) I swear it took at least 45 minutes to get to the hospital. (there is construction everywhere in this town) Well you know the procedure at any ER Room you hurry to get there so you can wait for at least 15 minutes before they lay you down. There is a sign posted stating that they will call the cops if you are vulgar or get violent so I kept reading it over and over and over.

Finally, yup you guessed it, I was cut badly on my chin, my eyebrow and on the inside of my mouth and my teeth are wiggling and hurt bad. I insisted on pain medicine and they made me swallow 3 huge horse pills with freezing cold water on the teeth. ( i remembered the sign in the waiting room- no vulgarity!! Finally I saw a nurse, a doctor, and any x-ray technologist to rule out a broken jaw. By the time I get back from X-rays I am freaking out, so I asked and Mike insisted on a valium(i love this drug) soon enough I got my way. In the mean time somewhere or other I'm sure I've wet my pants. No where to go or nothing to do about it, I sit in humiliation as tears are coming from one end and pea from the other. Please, Make the drug make me not care!!!! Well by about 8:45, they have decided to place 60 stiches in me and give me a tetnious shot and send me home. ll:30 Iv'e taken a bath, (thank goodness) got more pain medication in me and out for the night. After the visit to the dentist I am so relieved, nothing but bruises and loose teeth for now. So I had Mike take these pictures of me so my closest and dearest friends can see me. I think I'm ready for HALLOWEEN!!!

By the way I will have to sell at least 1000 of those cute little blocks so I can pay my hospital bill. HELP!!!! Chad and Jessica brought me flowers& I got this darling card from Tay,Ty and Kamdon. I am drinking my Ice cream. Just to let you all know I can't use the saws any more and Mike has been wonderful through it all. He insisted on the close up photo.One funny note about dad) he left his truck running for over an hour in the emergency room drive way before he remember he had left it there. He was totally taking good care of me. I'm glad it did not get stollen or I would have been left at the hospital while he was out looking for it. Ha Ha. Thanks everyone for your get well notes. This won't slow me down. I am going to paint those darn blocks tomorrow and they will Be CUTE and for SALE.
