Check Please!

As you've probably heard by now, Jules worked this Valentines, so we had our Valentines date Saturday. It was quite the romantic evening. We spent five minutes on dinner at our favorite steak restaurant and the rest of the evening touring Ogden emergency rooms to sew Jules hand back together.

One of the things I admire about Jules is she is very decisive, but Saturday it worked against her. Somehow she flipped her steak knife off her plate and quick as a flash she reached out to grab it. The knife sliced a one inch long gash in her hand. The restaurant staff provided a temporary bandage. I got the meals boxed and paid the check.

We arrived at McKay-Dee the same time a gaggle of police arrived with a suspect/patient – and they wanted additional security. We headed up to Ogden Regional instead. They were advertising an eight minute wait on a billboard we passed.

Five stitches! Jules can tell you about the first stitch she took without pain killer.

I have to admit, earlier I was thinking "If Ogden Regional doesn't work out, there's always Walgreen’s and butterfly bandages". I'm glad we stuck with the emergency room.
