Q:What do you get when you cross a can lid with a stroke survivor on blood thinners?
A: A 3 hour visit to the ER and 5 stitches in thier foot!
I can sort of laugh about this now but at the time it was not funny. Mike and I were so looking foward to just sitting watching our favorite show on Thursday night. We were gonna just kick back eat some boiled peanuts and watch some SOA, so I go get the peanuts, open the can, drain the juice and pour them up in a bowl. Mike is sitting in his PC at the counter helping. I sat the can down on the counter and he decides to push the lid down into the can so that we can use it to put the hulls in. He pushes down on the lid and the whole can slides off the counter! He trys to catch it, to no avail, so here it goes down on his bad foot slicing the top of it wide open! I grab a towel apply pressure and pray the bleeding stop! After about 5 min I take the towel off and sure enough the bleeding has stopped but not for long. Mike is a pretty big man but when it comes to needles he is like a little boy! Finally after realising the bleeding is not gonna stop without stitches he agrees to go to the ER. 3 hours and 5 stitches later we are back home! Whew what an evening! No more cans around him!! LOL!
