Stitches and Screams

So i had an interestingly bloody day Sunday and Monday. Sunday was the yearly trip to the House of Shock so i was rather excited. When it came time to get ready i had taken a little nap and had over slept. So i took off in a rush to the bathroom it felt like i stubbed my toe on something but it didn't really hurt . When i made it to the bathroom i took a look at my toe which had started to bleed a little bit. So i made a call to one of my friends at the haunted house asking them to wait for me and not leave without me. I had wrapped my to in some tissues to try to stop the bleeding not thinking it was all that bad at first. But when i looked down to check on it i realized that i had bled through all the towels and it was dripping all over the floor. I kind of started to freak out at this time not really knowing what to do. I called a friend of mine and he rushed over and by the time he had gotten there i had stopped bleeding. Although my apartment looked like a murder scene because i kind of bled all over it. So he bandaged it up and took me over to his place. He convinced me to go to the Dr Monday. So i went i was having allot of issues walking so i had been using an umbrella i have as a cane. Which I'm sure was an amusing sight. So i made it in there and they removed the bandages and the nurse started to clean it i out of auto reaction screamed and bit my friend. Kind of embarrassing. So she stopped cleaning and said she was scared of hurting me. The Dr came in with what looked like to me to be a massively huge needle. Although I'm sure I'm over exaggerating a good bit but i am really terrified of needles mainly when its part of a shot. They had to give me a shot on either side of my toe to numb it before they could continue to clean it. Which hurt and the Dr didn't really help the situation very much after i told him i was terrified of shots. This crazy Russian Dr felt it was necessary to playfully jab it at me (cap still on obviously) at my arm like he was going to stab me with it. So my toe swells up once they shoot me up with this numbing shot. He comes in and starts to clean it. He then informs me that i will need stitches as when i cut it the inside of my toe came out and was just kind of hanging there. So in come what look like to me instruments of torture. And he goes to shove my toe innards back inside and sew me up. That numbing shot didn't really work all that great because i felt ALL of this. And again i was screaming and freaking out. So again this crazy Dr thought it was a good idea to stop and tell me that if i didn't stop screaming as it scares other patients then he would give me a shot on the nose. :/ So finished it up and gave me a script for vicodin. Although i am on pain killers it still hurts an ungodly amount and my toe looks like a Vienna sausage.

Here is the toe pre stitches..
