Bloggin about my boo-boo

So this past Sunday I took quite a fall playing on the co-ed soccer team I am a member of.  Actually I am the team captain's wife which makes me extra special.  Although not special enough to avoid being clobbered twice by this meannie Italian guy who clearly didn't appreciate my soccer skills (or lack thereof).  Regardless, it hurt a lot and the first fall was so bad it caused the skin to burst open and little pugs run out.  Not really, but it was quite a laceration.  So bad that many on the team suggested I go to the emergency room to get stitches.  I decided that was a great idea and even better was to have a couple of beers before hand.  So 2 beers later I was in Central American in the Minor Injury Unit of the ER (ok, not C. America, but it felt close to it) This is the state of our healthcare in this country.  They took my vitals and wrote them on a post-it and had me present these to the nurse.  All this for $100 co-pay and countless monthly premiums.  After this I was ushered to a small cot with a drape around it.  Here they put my arm on a puppy pad like object so I could bleed on this and not the cot.  They determined I would be ok, but not before "excavating the wound".  Complicated term for using a water gun like apparatus to clean out the wound.  Then they put "special" tape on the worst part of the cut that is supposed to hold it all together.  Then I got a tetanus shot, lots of pain killers and I was good as new.  Now I have this very painful gash and grass burn on my arm and I was wanting to cover up my hideousness.  I decided to look into tasteful yet stylish bandaids.  These are some of my favorites.
