kbordson 8 #2 May 7, 2007 Glad you ok.... any stitches? I would say something about how lucky you were that it wasn't a sucking chest wound... but all chest wounds suck. Edit to add a new safety day briefing: Sucking Chest Wounds Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
towerrat 0 #3 May 7, 2007 Yeah.... I have three staples but it needed 5 or6. I don't have insurance so I got the back door treatment. I got no tetanus shot, pain med or penicillin . the wound wasn't even properly cleaned. I hope it doesn't get infected Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!

kbordson 8 #4 May 7, 2007 If you were here (or I had been down there) I would have helped you out.... but the only thing that kinda worries me is the tetnus issue. If your last one was more than 7-10 yrs ago or you don't even remember when it was.... and you think the knife might have been rusty/dirty.... I would call a local health department and get a tetnus booster Health Department 4717 Airport Rd Zephyrhills, FL 33542 (813) 782-1740 press 7 for immunizations (Margaret Warren) operating hours are from 7:30am to 6pm Mon-Thurs. edit to add: you could WALK there from the dropzone! It's just north of the ZHills Golf course Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kbordson 8 #14 May 7, 2007 Quote Jezzz. I read that and thought the same as you. How much is a tet' shot over there? Just finished chatting with one of the kind ladies at the Pasco Co Health Dept. If under the age of 60, the tetnus is $50 at the health department. The "tetnus" day is Tuesdays, but Monday is a walkin clinic day so today would be ok too. But since yours is "current" .... (but... If I were you, I would probably err on the side of caution and get a booster) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
