Wish my life Wasn't so Colorful, Red isn't my Color...

So, I was washing dishes and had my hand in a glass cup. As I was washing the rim of it the cup and it broke turning my finger into sushi.

Wasn't the best thing that could happen to me now... I have no health insurance so I'm in the works trying to get this paid for by a non profit. But man it's just been one thing after another!

The cut was pretty deep. There was SOO much blood. Normal bandaid wasn't going to stop this one. I waited longer then I should of tbh to go to the urgent care.

But once there holding my hand with a blood covered towel, they made me sign in using their mobile app. I'm right handed so this took forever doing it left. After about 30 or so mins of checking in and 2-3 people going in ahead of me. I'm still bleeding in the lobby.

They finally get to me, and they take another 15 -20mins for the NP to come in.

She puts me up on the table and starts to take a look, * I'm still bleeding pretty opening * she comes back and has a bunch of stuff.

1st, She gave the area a shot with a numbing med has me wait another 10 mins or so for it to kick in fully. She comes back and starts to try to then stitch up the wound. She seemed to be struggling a bit while doing this. After 3 stitches she was like " I can't stop the bleeding". Then makes the call to just remove the 3 stitches she put in patch me up with gooze and refer me to the nearest ER. Oooof!

At the ER, Thank god it was much quicker to check in. I was in the lobby for mebbe 10 mins then got called back. The nurse on hand took a look, had me soak my hand in this what I assume was antibactierial mix of water while I waited for the Doctor to come in.

He was super friendly and took some time to chat about my medical history and then started to take a look at the wound. He was like " Ya, you got yourself pretty good there didn't ya.". He steps away to go grab some equipment and supplies. He comes back saying, "Sorry that took so long had to watch a youtube video on how to do stitches." lol, I laughed , the man knew how to do his job really well. He gave me a shot of the numbing meds almost double what the urgent care did. I could really tell the differenece. After a while he put on his head lamp had me turn my whole arm over and started to get to work.

He was talking about random stuff with me as he was working, time kinda just pasted before I knew it and he had put in a total of 8 stitches in my finger! 8! the Urgent care was trying to only put in 3! Crazy!

Doc gave me a bag of goodies for keeping it clean and new bandages every 24hrs.
and to come back in 2 weeks to get the stitches removed and to check on the healing progress.

I really hope 2025 beings better luck, because this is just getting silly now. Can't catch a break! I've must of walked in front of some cursed black cat, broke a mirror, forgot to knock on wood, w/e else superstitious voodoo in my life to warrant this much bad luck lol.

Thank god for caring non-profits that can help people like me get things like this covered, Since I don't have any way of paying such a crazy amount of bills. Not just for the ER visit but the Urgent Care will want to be paid as well. Not sure why should. They couldn't fix the problem and had to refer me! But we all know how the American Healthcare system is! *spits on ground* lol.
