Injury

Sorry I haven't updated my blog for ever. I have been so busy lately, but all of a sudden I find myself with all kinds of time...
I am working for Brad for all of you that don't know, and on Tuesday we were out at a job at the ledges, (which is on the road that takes you out to pine valley). My alarm didn't go off that morning so I was late to work, so I just drove my truck out there. So after going back and forth from the shop to pick stuff up they forgot, I finally arrived. I was only at the job for 45 min probably and then it happened. Brad needed a 90 to connect on to the pipe so I was running over to get one. I went to jump over a big heating ac pipe with a sheet metal connector thing on the end to get out of the ditch and i didn't get my left leg high enough. it caught on to the metal and riped my leg open. I thought I just scratched it, so I looked down to check it out and couldn't believe my eyes. you could easily see 3 inches of the bone if not more. I immediately froze, I didn't know what to do. Brad, who was quite a ways a way glanced up and said "oh it's just a little scratch, keep going", not realizing how bad it was. Then the heating and ac guy saw it and came over to help, along with brad who came over to look. They got me out of there and up to the truck, where they realized that they didn't have a first aid kit or a clean rag or anything. So James, a kid I work with, and myself got in my truck and drove to the work med building down by Costco. The whole time James was freaking out, and I was totally calm.
I got 21 stitches in all, 8 underneath and 13 on top. I now hold the record for most stitches at the work med building. Surprisingly my leg wasn't bleeding hardly at all the whole time, it picked up a little more as we got closer to the work med building, but it really wasn't bad. I would have to say the worst part of this experience was when the doc had to numb my leg. He kept poking me with a stupid needle right where the skin ripped off.
But now I can saw that my first time ever getting stitches , I went all out.

Unfortunately the pics just don't do it justice. It was so much worse. You could see layers of skin and the bone. It was really bad.
