A Picture A Day
Many Excuses

Thursday, July 6, 2017

Outreach finally! So part of the job is going out to villages where people can't make it into the city to come to the hospital.  This was our hearing aid programming station, this kid was getting hearing aids for the first time. Honestly, he was not excited about the prospect, but he's a teenager so what could we expect? Anyway the outreach went quite well until the next day when...

I stepped on a shard of bone that went through my shoe and into my little foot.  I don't have a more clear explanation than that, I wish that I would have had that presence of mind to take a picture of both the offending shard and the yard around, which was littered with bones.  I don't know what kind of bones, cow? It was big and sharp and out to get me.  It bled terribly and the ENT that was with us was like, you will need only 2 sutures and you'll be fine.  Honestly, blood, everywhere, for like 2 hours.

But then we got back to the hospital and it had mostly stopped bleeding.  It was/is very deep but it didn't need stitches and I GUESS I'm fine.  Still debating on a tetanus shot though.  Apparently dirt covered bones are on the list of tetanus prone injuries.
