He called me and asked where I was and what I was doing. Mckette had I just finished coloring and cutting my hair. (it's a good thing I didn't have foils in anymore) He said that I needed to take the kids to my mom and bring him his insurance card. I asked where he needed them brought to and he told me that he was at the emergency room. When I asked what he did, he just told me that he had a scratch.
This is the scratch he showed me when I got there!!!
The emergency room doctor said that he couldn't do anything and they needed to call in the surgeon. Dr. Cox came and said that he would be able to stitch it up in the E.R. so Sue and I were able to watch. So Cool!! It took about 5 layers of stitches, 4 packages of the stitching material and an hour of actual stitching. Luckily no major tendons were severed (he was able to have full movement in his fingers and arm) but all the muscles to the bone were cut, so they all had to be sewn back together. It will take about a month of immobility and then another month of light duty, but everything should be back to normal.
That is pretty disgusting! Looks like it hurts alot!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so much worse than the picture you sent to my phone! Poor Pat!! Gary Jr. (Garrett) has passed out next to me just looking at it. :) Give him a hug from us!
ReplyDeletePoor Pat!!! At least he will always have a good story to tell the kids about his scar! I'm sure the story will change for each scenario the kids will challenge him with wanting to do something scary.
ReplyDeleteTell Pat to take it easy and no more playing with power tools........they're for work only!:)
