First Work Accident!

Here are some pictures of my leg. I was moving a wheel barrow full of wet concrete mix when it started to tip over. I tried to move to the left to get it stable, but in the process, I tripped over a huge metal beam on the ground and fell over. When I landed, all my body weight, plus the weight of the concrete, shoved my leg into the sharp metal corner of the beam, causing a huge chunk to be scraped out. I even had pieces of leg fat on my pants. I started to go into shock a little bit, but was able to calm down before I would have passed out. It was a 30 minute drive to the hospital so you can imagine there was lots of shaking, pain, and overall shock! I ended up getting about 9 stitches, I think. They're big ones since the gash was so big! I can walk on my leg, although it hurts. I have pain in both arms due to getting a Tetanus shot in one arm and pain meds in the other! Now that it's been a few hours, the pain medicine is wearing off and I'm quite sore and exhausted. But good news!! I'll be able to work tomorrow. I may just be sorting through paperwork or operating the fork lift...anything simple that doesn't push pressure on my leg. I'll have the stitches for 10 days...what fun. This was my first trip to the hospital for stitches since I was 3 years old! It wasn't too fun, but I'll have the memories!
