Stopped the bleeding & bandaged it myself last night, but I had to get a tetanus shot, and of course the local VA clinic is closed today.
I just got home from 4 hours in the emergency room over at the Durham VA Hospital. Three and a half hour wait for a half hour treatment, but I'm not fussed. I expected I'd be low priority, so I took along a book to read while I waited. Turned out I got a Tetanus booster in 2013, so I didn't need to get the shot after all. They did re-bandage it quite nicely. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Nasty, glad it got bandaged well at least from the wait. 3.5 hours is good; our last treatment in the local hospital was a few mins under 12 hours from arrival to departure. (including arrival by ambulance).
