Nurses think they know things.

Recommended Posts

Backstory: my mom is a nurse of ~30 years. I love my mom.

Story: On a round trip ride from Glenwood to Aspen, Mom tried to take a divot out of a rock when she wrecked her road bike but instead the rock won and took one out of her arm. She could see exposed white, that she THOUGHT was fat:|. This was 20miles into a 90mile ride. Like the badass my mom is, she wrapped her t-shirt around it(she is still a nurse:S) and FINISHED the ride. She re-bandaged it at her hotel that afternoon.
THE NEXT DAY she decided to go to the ER.
Doc cut out the ragged tissue and t-shirt bits, now there is exposed bone (4cm) told her it has to wait for closing because of infection risk (ya think?)
Tomorrow they are doing a nerve block and will try to clean it again and close as much as they can. This is +94hrs from the wreck. It's going to be a wicked scar as long as she does not die of osteomyelitis.

Dammit mom. She gets 'disappointed' in me when I treat a cold with gatorade and rum.
