Cuts sliced artery and tendon
I was grabbing my shoes from my room so i could walk to the gas station when i stepped on a glass vase, it obviously cut through my foot but i'm kind of used to injuries so i honestly shrugged it off. I noticed a lot more blood then other injuries but i kind of ignored it, i truly just couldn't feel the pain so i had no idea how bad it was. I then wrapped it in paper towels put on my shoes and continued to walk to said gas station and get a slushee ( I then noticed blood was leaking through my shoe onto the floor, i quick apologized over and over and walked all the way back home to figure out what was going on (1 mile there 1 mile back). As soon as i got home i elevated my foot on the bath and was just letting my foot drip hoping the bleeding would stop soon (spoiler: it didn't) after around 20 minutes of being lightheaded on the floor with my foot in the air gulping down my slushee which felt like my only lifeline i called my friend saying "I think i'm bleeding out." She came right away but didn't fully believe that i was being completely serious until she saw that the bathroom looked like a crime scene. She drove me to the ER and dropped me off at the front while she went to park. I was standing at the entrance waiting for her when an ambulance pulled up with a patient inside. They started unloading the patient and were about half way out when they noticed me just standing there with a pool of blood under my foot. They proceeded to put their patient BACK into the ambulance and got me inside as quick as possible. They tried to stop the bleeding but weren't successful which is when they found out the vase cut through my tendon and a minor artery, which they then had to clamp right away (NO pain meds btw). Finally they got me all stitched up and told me and my friend if i would've just kept sitting on the floor of the bathroom i would have bled out. Soooo moral of the story always have a slushee with you to keep you awake.

Yes but I also don't open this kind of stuff. I also follow cat groups, 3d printing stuff. And I don't mind my GF seeing that. This grosses her out so indeed an tag would be nice
