So on the planning board we occasionally have to go on a site walk. A site walk serves the purpose of letting us go out and actually see the location of a proposed development, get a better feel for the land etc. I had meetings yesterday in Belmont which ended early so at around 4:30 or so my wife, the boy, a friend, and I went to Ellacoya State Park for some pseudo-fishing and a picnic. Running a little late, when we got home I didn't bother to change from flip flops to sneakers for the site walk.
Unfortunately I have kind of a history of being clumsy, and naturally while walking in the woods I managed to step on two rusty nails which went all the way through my flip flops and into my right foot. Then I had the joy of sitting in triage at the emergency room for three hours. The trouble with triage is it stinks if you're only a little hurt, as they take the more serious injuries first. On the plus side I had my fancy new phone so I could email back and forth with my wife and check on sports scores, so it was more entertaining than any visit to the ER in the past. So the attending ER doctor scrubbed out the wound, put me on a prescription for antibiotics, and they administered the infamous tetanus shot. I'm fairly sure that I'll live but it hurts more than it did yesterday and I'm in for a long day at work.
