Yesterday the garbage can bag was full. I went to change bags, opening the door under
the kitchen counter and reached in for An empty garbage bag. I remembered a few days ago stuffing a new roll
of garbage bags into that space and it took a squeezing effort to get them all in.
I did not think of taking them out in the future, which was
yesterday. So, I had to squeeze a
garbage bag out.
The back part of my left hand was deeply punctured by an
exposed nail. I bled like a stuck pig,
thanks to my blood thinner medicine.
We put some antibiotic salve on it and the bleeding stopped.
On the phone that evening we told our oldest son about the
stabbing nail and he suggested I should get a tetanus shot.
This morning we went to the Wellstar WalkIn near by. We were asked when was the last time I had a
Tetanus Shot, and I told the young perk P.A. I don’t remember but probably
before she was born.
Actually, I got a tetanus Shot when my dog bit me but I can’t
remember which dog. I had 3 over a 50
year period. I remember I got the shot
in Dr. O’Barr’s Office but he fired me when I got on Medicare,
which was near 20 years ago.
Then the PA got on the computer. She asked did we have a grandchild 8 or 9 years ago.
“Why, yes we did!”
She said it is recommended you take a form of Tetanus shot
when you handle young babies!”
We remembered getting some kind of shot to be able safely to
handle our new grandson.
The PA added that ten year rule has been changed to 5 years,
so I still need a shot, which she gave me.
