here's what happened...wanted to put my new front tire on today, so started taking the wheel off. as i got up off my stool to go to the oppostie side, i hit my head across the headlight visor. had never noticed before, but the edge of that thing is like a razor. cut my old bald head pretty good, but got upstairs, poured peroxide on it and applied asome neosporin. got the bleeding stopped, went back and got the wheel off, took it to a shop to have it mounted and balanced. got it back a couple hours later. started to put it on and d*%# if i didn't do the same thing again...did i say DUMB? but, this time it was much worse. couldn't get the bleeding stopped and it was pumping blood like crazy. called a friend to take me to the hospital and when he got here, told him i wasn't getting in his car bleeding like i was. i had soaked two large bath towels and numerous paper towels. he agreed and said i needed an ambulance anyway...first ride in my life in an ambulance and hope never another one. got to the emergency room and i had cut an artery in my head.
the visor is coming off tomorrow before i finish putting the wheel on!!!! gotta go clean my bathroom, looks like the scene from scarface movie.
bud
