CSB3: Desperate Need For A Smoke Machine In The East Coast, Canada Wildfires Don't Suffice Anymore

[Acadia18]

Acadia will now be known as Scarface.

That is all.

Gonna look like fucking Harry Potter

Dropped a wheel on my head at 8am off my overhead storage rack. Though I just bumped my noggin until I sat down, and had blood pouring down my face.

Spoiler: Putting it in a spoiler, but I don't think it's any worse than an infected finger

Don't think it's bad enough to require er\stitches. Have some butterfly closure strips holding it shut and bandages on it. Hopefully that stops the bleeding.

Wife refused to take a picture of me with my face covered in blood looking like I got murdered.

God damn!

You better get to the medical tent, you're in the concussion protocol.

Sorry for laughing but this is hilarious

 

[Acadia18]

Jesus. Glad it wasn’t worse…

Yep. Wife called down asking if I was ok after my first "Ah fuck!" right when it happened. Said yeah. Moments later said "Actually no. But don't be alarmed..." because literally, that whole side of my face was covered in blood. Went upstairs. Daughter started crying.

"OH MY GOD GRAB YOUR STUFF WE NEED TO GO TO THE ER!!"....

"Woah, woah, woah, lets take a step back, clean this up and assess first."

 

[Acadia18]

God damn!

I can guarantee you my wife is on the couch right now furiously Googling "signs of a concussion"...

She's the kind of person who will go "My leg hurts and I think it looks red and online it said it could be a blood clot which can travel to my heart and kill me, I need to go to the ER..." (actual story, leg was fine... after sitting in the ER for 9 hours).

I'm more the "Unless I'm actively dying, it's not an emergency" kinda person.

 

[JC_451]

You seem pretty coherent, I think you can stay in the game.

Shouldn't there be a shoe on your head or something? There are rules here sir.

I took it off because I don't want the gaping wound to get infected.

An ER trip isn't off the table yet though. Mostly only if I can't stop the bleeding, which hasn't happened yet. I shaved back a little bit of my hair so I could attached the butterfly closure strips and bandaids better. Not sure how long to give it before I throw in the towel?

I feel like urgent care is the way to go here. Less wait time, less expensive and they should be able to do stitches if it's needed, but will tell you if gauze or butterfly strips are good enough.

Good call.

You’ll need to apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding first.

Best place for application? Around the neck seems the most logical?

yep!

Actually, they can probably fix it with superglue and butterfly bandages - but you need to do something.
