Avoided a dumb ER visit

MawrtyrB

So somehow while cleaning out my fridge (not a nesting moment - it was an I spilled chicken broth all in the fridge moment), I knelt on piece of glass without knowing it. I see my knee bleeding all over the floor. Well that's strange. Of course DH is putting DD to sleep. So I kept cleaning but it felt like there was something in my knee. Finally DH comes out and tries to clean it up but he doesn't see anything but I can feel it inside. Even being an EMT/firefighter, he won't dig around in my knee to look for whatever's inside. He's looking all helpless at me. I refuse to go to the ER for something so dumb. Get me the tweezers, sissy. I finally pull out almost a 1 cm long shard of glass. No idea where it even came from. Anyway, it seems fine now. I'll keep an eye on it for infection. It's a pretty clean cut. Doens't seem worth the 1 stitch they might put in it.

Well I'm glad you got it out and hopefully it won't get infected

Wow, good thing you had a medic on hand! It just prooves that women just deal and move on and men are all squeemish! I'd have done the same thing.
