ER visit

I cut my hand opening a can of dog food today. I cleaned it threw a cloth on it and ran out the door. Rumples was a bit confused. It was during a snow storm so driving was interesting. I had my right hand over my head trying to keep pressure and at the same time trying not to get in an accident. I got to the ER and the triage nurse was like whats wrong... cut my hand... are you looking for sympathy? They saw me right away. I got two stitches. He started with two shots of lidocaine... He waited for a while for it to numb up... poking it every once in a while, but it never numbed up and I felt the stiches going in. He said it was odd because he put a lot in. He said that for some people it just doesn't work for.

Looks like a lot of blood for a relatively small cut. Sorry....

So... This wasn't a snowblower you stuck your hand into?
