Whew!

So, Monday nights are my nights for doing audiofics or some other such nonsense. I got home at 6pm and the phone rang nearly right away. I was in the middle of surprising Mark by setting up a little tank for just the two apple snailies. So, kinda slimey, I grab the phone.

Me: Hey you

Mark: Hey, where are you?

Me: I'm--

Mark: Are you still at work?

Me: *in the proud accomplished i'm not overworking myself voice* No, I'm home already

Mark: Good can you-

Me: You want me to come eat dinner with you?

Mark: I want you to come pick me up

Me: Er... *thinks* uhm...

Mark: I'm just getting back from the hospital

Me: ...what?

Mark: I got hurt at work

Me: WHAT?!

Mark: I--

Me: Whoa, how? When? What happened? (and many other sentences starting with W words)

Turns out he cut himself and I won't go much into detail, but he needs the stitches taken out in a week to ten days and can't use his right hand until then. -_-

Suffice to say, I went and bought him a new snail playpen, and 'cool' black sand for it and a spiffy plant with a fake plastic frog on the rock base of it. Then, we went and got him a burger and custard. Currently, he's watching an Iron Maiden video. I'm just releaved that it turned out not as bad as the many bad possibilities running through my head. Still, he's an artist. And hurting your drawing/painting hand - not good. *sighs* just have to keep reminding myself, it could have been worse, but thank God it wasn't

Glad Mark is ok, relatively speaking. I'm sure watching iron maiden will soothe him... *snort*

I think that, coupled with whatever they gave him at the hospital, helped him get a good long rest... luckily, he wasn't complaining of pain at all this morning, so that's good

but hey, iron maiden, always a good way to calm oneself... *snickers*

AIEEEE. Hand & finger injuries give me the major heebee jeebees...piano player and all that... Yikes. Poor guy. (Is he a bebe when sick or injured?)

*hugs*

I know! I was going 'ow' more than he was...

He's kinda borderline.. he'll tough stuff out, but when either of us is injured or sick, we take care of the other one and let the one who's under the weather be a baby about it, lol... so I got a number of puppy-eyed looks from him and he had me helping him with everything and making sure he was all comfy

Oh! Poor Mark....I know you will take good care of him.
*hugs*

yes, he was pampered quite a lot yesterday and this morning... and for the next week he'll get lots of healing snuggles and what not... although, he said his finger didn't really hurt this morning, so that is good at least (however, he did get a tetanus shot while there, and apparently that's a bit sore, poor guy)

Ten days...need to be cared in hospital...(> <)*shivers*
Hope he get well soon! (( Zhie ))

Thank you, yes, he's already seeming to be better. I was so worried when he first called - you'd think he could have gone right to the 'this is what happened' instead of me panicking (er, ok, for all of ten seconds, but still!)

[siesuta.livejournal.com]

I understand bout you panicking...even if it's only 10 seconds, worrying about your loved one feels like experiencing 10 years of agony. >

ACK!!! Give Mark a gentle huggle for me and a big giant CUDDLE for you! Thank God it wasn't as serious as it could have been...but stitches still really suck.

thanks, sis... gah, yeah, this could have been so much worse, especially after I saw what 'attacked' him (a lock on a case with a sawtoothed ridge on it - ack!)

Zhie, I hope Mark's hand gets better soon! OMG!! Iron Maiden fans! Yay! I have been a fan since early 80's. I took my daughter to Ozzfest this last year just to see them. I have turned her into a Maidenhead! Get better, Mark and Up the Irons!!!

*hugs*
