I was on the spin bike at the gym and Brett called me saying that he "cut himself." I asked where, he said on his hand and wrist. So here I am thinking he cut a major artery or vein on his wrist. I told him to put pressure on it and asked if I should come home. He said no and then about 2 more minutes into the conversation he said that he needed me home. I literally sprinted off the bike to my car and raced home. I got home to find this:
and this:
Hahahaha He was putting the plastic sweep on the bottom of the glass shower door and the glass door pretty much shattered into his hands. The cut between his knuckles looked pretty deep but it had kind of stopped bleeding so we decided to go to Walgreens and get some medical glue and gause and just remedy it at home. I called Brett's mom (who is a doctor) and as I was talking to her on the phone Brett kinda passed out a little bit. His mom said it was a vasovagal response, which just means a brief loss of consciousness. While on the phone with his mom, I freaked out! I can deal with blood, broken bones, cuts, etc but when he about passed out, I lost it! I was crying and freaking out! There is something about being alone having to take care of someone who isn't conscious that scares the crap out of me!!!!!!! Anyway- after that I decided that we should go to Urgent Care to see if he needed stitches:
Waiting at the Urgent Care
So he ended up getting 3 stitches in the cut on his knuckle and 3 stitches on the cut on his wrist. Glad we decided to see a doctor! He didn't really mind the stitches, but he HATED the 6 numbing shots they gave him before!!! He hates shots!
All wrapped up and ready to go!
My poor boy! All he wanted all night was Taco Bell, so we got him some Taco Bell and went home to watch a movie. He was mostly worried the whole night about his 7 page paper due on Monday because he couldn't move his hand well enough to type(good thing he cut his left hand and not his right). I am just glad that he is okay! I love my boy!

After all the blood and fainting stopped, I was most definitely laughing. hahahaha
So scary! I'm glad he's okay!! Haha, Brit you're so funny to just laugh about it all. Miss you guys!
no way!! oh my gosh I'm so sorry.. that is always so scary when something happens to your hubby :(
Wow, that's crazy. Glad he's all fixed up. That looked nasty. Taco Bell, isn't it funny how we can want it so bad once in a while? Matt and I do the same thing. Well, we really crave it and then once we eat it, we think "This isn't that good." And we're set for a few months. :) haha
