Bite Your Tongue

OR don't, this weekend I spent an unplanned Saturday afternoon and evening in the emergency room. And in a bit of WTF, I don't live in the state where the hospital was located AND the accident didn't occur in the state where the hospital was located. Go figure that one out...

Anyway, in a bout of pure stupidity I decided to wrestle an alligator get into bar fight with drunk cowboys play-fight with a 14 year old boy. In the end the 14 year old won, a nice sharp crack of his elbow to my chin led to teeth in tongue madness.

It hurt like *&%$. And led to a 5 hour wait in the ER. Apparently biting almost though your tongue doesn't get you any special treatment. I felt better about that after I learned that BB-embedded-in-your-lip gets to wait too!

Finally the other thing I learned is they didn't give me any anesthetic for the stiches!!!!! However, the fact that I a)held still and b)didn't freak out leads me to believe that I am a bad ass. Or not.

It hurt....
