Based on a true story from inury/walmart
What state are you in? Oregon State.
Heavy Shoulders
Chapter 1
Exiting the family vehicle, one would never have known a wet Oregon day like today to go like mine.
While my family and I were shopping at Wal-Mart a while back, we were walking down the sporting goods area. Well… my 11 year old son picked up a 15 lb weight from the third shelf. When he did a few weights began to roll from the shelf to the floor. My son called out for me to help him. When I reached him he had one weight in hand and another held up to the shelf by his elbow. I grabbed the weight from his hand and placed it on the shelf. Suddenly 7 or 8 weights rolled down , like a steam roller, it smashed my hand.
My hand was injured causing my skin to break and bone to fracture. Needless to say this was a very painful experience. As life giving blood actually exited from my finger I quickly ran to the rest room. I cleaned my wound and attempted to stop the bleeding by applying paper towels and pressure. Surveying my surroundings I noticed a blood was every where. It trailed from where I was and speckled the bathroom floor. When I exited the rest room 5 ,smartly dressed and well groomed , Wal-Mart employees approached, They stop me and asked what happened etc. I proceeded to give my statement and told them I was on my way to the emergency room.
I gathered my family and left dreading the news I was about to be delivered. The x-rays showed the tip of my bone was severed and was freely floating like a unmanned boat in a lake. The doctor surgically had to work my bone back in place and then skillfully stitched the open wound. I have had stitches before, but 3 stitches through my finger nail made me understand real pain. A scream of uncontrolled pain left my body as the final stitch was placed.
After exiting the hospital emergency room I just wanted to get home and back to daily life.
