Bloody Tuesday
Had a small accident at the boat today... my hands got caught between the wooden mooring post and a rope as I was trying to stop the 12 ton boat. Stupid mistake on my part, should'a just let the boat go.
Anyway, I have two broken fingers (little on the left, index on the right) and evulsions on all but my thumbs and the little and ring fingers of my right hand. It was way bloody, and we had a boat full of 4th graders when it happened. I ran up to the ticket booth as soon as I could and got some towels so that I wasn't bleeding all over the place, and I didn't want the kids to see it.
The EMT's got there and I was sitting on the floor of the ticket booth, cracking jokes and flirting as they looked at the wounds. They carted me off to MCO in the ambulance and gave me morphine and oxygen on the way there. Morphine is niiiiiiiiice.
So, yeah.... I think updates now will be few and far between for a while, just till I don't have to wrap my hands in a way that makes me look like the Penguin from Batman Returns.....
Gonna go lay down for a bit, the Vicodin is starting to kick in.
Laters all

WOW...at least you are mostly okay.
I gotta ask, how many crew were there, and wtf happened to cause you to try to stop it?
George: Three... and we were supposed to stop the boat. I just didn't move fast enough.
Joe: What can I say, I may be in pain and bleeding, but I'm still cute ;)
And it's asmall accident because I said so... not like I lost a foot of something....
I'll be fine.... just a litle on the high side for a bit :D
I'm glad you're fine after all that. You said you were flirting and joking, so I know it didn't take your spirits down much if any.
I still have to say wow just a little shocked, and we came so close to doing things like that on Sunday.
As I told you before, I'm glad it was only that... as for the sound of it, it could have been worse. Hope you'll be back soon... posting cute pics in between! :)

It's just your hands... Not a big deal? My God, woman! You need some TLC.
Yes, morphine is nice. It makes you feel all fuzzy inside.
Hope you feel better.
George: Yeah, I almost fell in twice... that one thing with the ropes... and I thought Sunday was bad, ha!
I'll be back to work soon though, maybe next week.
Daniel: Yes, much worse. If the mooring post hadn't broken I might have actually lost fingers instead of just breaking a few. I'm lucky like that :D
Labbie!: It's really not a big deal... like I said, I could have lost fingers, so I came out in a good spot.
Yes, I do need TLC. But, sadly, and as usual, I have no guy to give me any... *pouts*
Ah well, I'll deal ;)
