I am a Jackson after all!






Well I had a fun trip to the ER last night. Apparently when you cut a bagel you should use a cutting board instead of your hand. I'm blaming Ali because she bought such expensive knives=). Anyways about 10:00 last night I decided to have a bagel, and I accidentaly cut my pinkie, ring, and middle fingers, but my ring finger got the brunt of it. So we went to the new hospital and I got to check out their new ER =) So the good news was that I just barely missed my tendons, but the bad news was that the Dr. said I had to take my ring off or my finger might swell so bad I would lose it. Unfortunately I have a titanium ring (which are very hard to cut off). The Dr. told us that he couldn't numb my finger yet because it would swell and be harder to get the ring off, so an EMT came in and helped pull the ring off, which was no easy task because he had to get past a big flap of skin and flesh (it was the most painful part.)Then the resident Dr. was trying to give me a numbing shot but instead of poking the skin, the needle just kind of pushed my skin (since it was cut up) so she had to hold my skin in place to poke it =) But anyways all is ok now and I will just have a cool scar. Too bad I don't have a better story to go with it, anyone have any ideas for a good story? Now we just have to worry about that dang ER bill... and as Jim so wisely pointed out, I guess I am a Jackson after all =)
