Hello my people. I apologize for the long stretch in between blogs but I think this will explain why. So strap on your seatbelts and hang on tight for the story of all stories… Well at least in my mind… Here we go.
So it was September the 4th 2009. I had just moved back to Baltimore from Chicago about 5 days before hand. So it was a friday night and I got to thinking, “What the fuck should I do tonight?” So I hung out with my mother for a bit at the house. Then I decided to fix myself a drink. Captain and coke to be specific (like you didn’t know that already). So I had two drinks when my buddy Joey called and asked if I wanted to hang out. I said, “Sure! Why not!” So they came and hung out round my way for a bit. I said, “Ok well let me go change out of these slippers and put my shoes on. Then we can go.” Now instead of being a normal human being and taking the steps down, I somehow thought it would be a good idea to walk down the little three foot hill of grass in slippers. Had no idea though that the grass was wet. NO FUCKING IDEA!!!!!! So I slipped and fell. As I fell, I thought to myself, “Ok, I’ll hit the ground, have a good laugh, get up and hang out with my friends.” I was wrong. Now I don’t know exactly how it happened, but I’m thinking my ass landed on my ankle and destroyed it. I think that because as soon as I landed, you could hear a bone snap. So when I hit the ground, I looked down and saw my leg was going straight while my foot was veering off to the left. So of course I knew the shit was broken. The ambo was called. Now this really pissed me off. I’m the one in a severe amount of pain right? RIGHT! So I asked for someone to light me a cigarette before I left cause I knew it was going to be a very long night and I wouldn’t have one for a very long time. The medic, who by the way was a real bitch, looks at me and screams, litterally screams, “NO!!!! YOU CANNOT HAVE ONE!!!! IT’S FOR OUR HEALTH!!!!” I just sat there and gave her the evil eye. HOW IN THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DENY SOMEONE SOMETHING THEY FEEL THEY NEED AT THE MOMENT!?!?!?!??!?!?!?! It’s alright though. When she wasn’t looking, I took a few drags from my mother.
Now I’m in the back of this ambulance. The guy driving must have just gotten his license the day before cause the mother fucker was swerving and hitting every fucking bump and pot hole in the road that he could. I finally got tired of it and yelled, “Could you please be a little more careful? Everytime you hit one of those bumps, I get the sharp pain that shoots from my leg and makes my asshole pucker!” He just laughed as if I was making some joke. The bastard continued to hit every bump. I think it was just for spite cause I yelled at his dumb ass. Fuck boy.
Fast forward to the ER… I arrive in a pretty good amount of pain. One of the nurses then started asking me a bunch of questions. She gets to this one :
“Have you had any alcohol tonight?”
Me : “Well yeah. It’s fucking friday night!”
Nurse : “Oh so you are drunk?”
Me : “No. I only had to drinks. It really was just stupidity on my part that I fell down a hill. The alcohol had no play in this accident.”
Nurse : “Well I really doubt that. You know within two SIPS of alcohol, your brain doesn’t function the way it normally would.”
Me : “First off, you obviously do not know me. Two full drinks, let alone two sips, wouldn’t even make me wanna take a piss. Second off, where did you get your registration to be a nurse, off the back of a slurpee cup? Huh? Did you send in your proof of purchase in exchange for a certification to be stupid?”
She then walked away from me, very pissed off mind you. But I won that argument.
Now they finally put me in a room after like 30 minutes of sitting in the hallway. The doctor comes in and says, “I see we had a little accident here!” I replied, “No way doc! My ankle always looks like this on the weekend. You should see what I do with it on sundays to freak people out as they are leaving church!” He wasn’t amused. Tough crowd eh? So then he asks if I’m in any pain. “On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the most pain, what level are you at?” I screamed, “FUCKING TWELVE NOW GIVE ME DRUGS!!!!!” Enter the nice little fat lady with all the goods like morphine and shit. I remember yelling about something, then in mid-sentence laying back in a euphoric state and drifting off into a pyschedellic land of candy corns and rivers of fruit punch. It was pretty fucking awesome.
Now came the hard part. Putting the foot back into place. Now for those of you who do not know, I HATE FEET!!! Even my own. And I certainly did not want someone touching my foot for hours. It grosses me out. Ew. Now here is this guy I don’t know, tugging on my foot to pop the shit back in place. I was pretty pissed off. After about 15 minutes of struggling to put it back, he says to me, “Ok, lay still like a rag doll, I’m going to try a different method.” I thought, “Great! I get a break!” WRONG! As soon as I calmed down, this guy pulls on it getting it back into place. Now this is a pain that was so intense, I think I would have rather bit down on a live wire and die an horrible death by electricution than go through that. He then looks at me with that cocky smile most doctors acquire in their second year of college (do you think that is a class? Doctor cocky smile 101?) and says to me, “Ok, I’ll let you rest for a few minutes and splint this up.” I flipped him off and yelled for more morphine.
Splinting : So now that my shit looks somewhat normal again, he will now put it in a splint. That was fun. After he gets done, they take me in for X-rays. Probably about twenty minutes later, he comes back and says, “I’m not happy with that splint. I’m going to do it again.” What a prick. DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!! THEY PAY YOU GOOD MONEY TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!!! So he re-splints it and decides thats good enough. In leaving he says, “Ok, so here is the deal. No more getting drunk for awhile. That’s how you ended up here!” I said, “No doc, I was not drunk. Can I go home now?” He says, “Oh no! You can’t go home now. You have to stay over night. We are getting you a room and you should be in it within twenty minutes.” Then he leaves. This was about, I don’t know, 2:30 in the morning. I passed out after that. 6:30 that same morning, they finally move me into a room upstairs. So much for twenty minutes.
The Room : They wheeled me into the room as the sun was coming up over the rows and rows of broken down houses and construction sites. I had not pissed since 11:30 the night before. Needless to say, I had to go. I figured they would put me in a wheel chair and let me do what needed to be done. WRONG AGAIN! They hand me this plastic cup and tell me to piss in that. Now, I’m one of those people that for some reason needs a toilet to do what I have to do. Now they tell me it’s ok to piss in a cup while laying in bed? WHAT IN THE FUCK!?!?!?! They also had the nerve to tell me not to get any piss on the sheets. I said, “look, if it happens, you will have to deal with it. I don’t exactly piss in plastic cups often.”
And Finally, The Discharge : My mom and my brother came to the hospital at like noon or something. Everytime the nurse came in I asked to leave. She told me I must wait for the physical therapist to come in and see me. She finally came at around 3:30 pm. She gave me a tutorial on how to use crutches and get around, all that shit. They then discharge me. The nurse says, “Someone will be up to wheel you downstairs.” I’m happy as shit right now. I’m coming home!!! I sat there for a half an hour waiting for someone to take my broken and busted ass downstairs. So I finally came home. Two weeks later I had surgery where they put a steel plate and 8 screws in me to hold my shit in place. How wonderful. Now I have to wait three months at the very least to put any weight on it and all that. It’s been hell people let me tell you. But I’m getting used to it I suppose.
Well folks, thats it for this entry. Join me next time when I will discuss what its like to be woken up by a fly that obviously thinks you are its mate.
Piss off!
