RE: Story time
Here is a "It happened to me story"
Well about 8 yrs ago me a my brother-in-law were going elk hunting for a week.Well we arive at camp,wich was set-up the 1st week of rifle.I start unpacking the pick-up and Rob starts to put stuff in the tent,well his dad had tied the door-ties into knots and we could not get them undone.Rob asks to barrow my knife(at the time I was using a Schrade Buck hunter with the stag handle )well I continue to unpack the truck and Rob is picking at the knots withe tip of the knife.
Well all of a sudden Rob says"BJ you have any toilet papper","I go why (back to him) you crap your pants" and I turn around and in disbelife here is Rob with this knie buried to the hilt in his thigh.My jaw just dropped,I said "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING!!" he gose well I was trying to get the knots out and the knife flew out of my hands and in to the air,I didn't see where it was going so I just sat there hoping it would hit the ground,then all of a sudden I hear this "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!" and whack it flies into my leg.Well I panic and grab a Ace ankle wrapp and a roll of TP and he pulls the knife out(I'm expecting arterie and bleeding to death 40 miles from town)he jerks his pant's down and I'm on my knee's and start wrapping his leg to stop the bleeding.Well we hear this low rumble coming down the logging road we are camped by,and not thinking here comes this pick-up with about 5 yolcals in the front seat of this 77 Ford Multi-color pick-up with mud tires,well Robs back is to the road,and all they can see is this skinny guy in Blue bikini underwear and some guy in a cowboy hat on his knee's in front of him doing something with his hands.[:-][:-][:-]
You wanna talk about remembering scens from "Deliverence"
Well get Rob bandaged up and hual but to this small town,and ask if there is a Doctor that is in,the gas station attendant points us in the right direction and we drive to his house wich is also his practice.I go up to the door and knock and this pretty little blond answers the door and ask what she can do,I explaine that my brother in law has stabbed him self in the leg and she says rush him in,well I rush rob into the office and this gall has her back to him and Rob just drops drawers and she starts to panic,I think she thought we were going to rapper her of some thing and she jabs Rob with this needle in the chest,"he yell what the Heck are you doing I'm stabbed in the leg"she explains she is a nurse and was panicing cause the doctor was not in.She looks him over and decides it is not life threating and put this brown stuff on him and closes the wound with butterfly stipps cause she cannot do stiches yet.Well she sends us on our way.The next morrning Rob has this fever and his leg is turning red and swollen.I tell him lets go back to a hospital and he says I'm fine "I'm here to hunt elk"
Well this gose on for another day,and now he can't even walk,thats it I pack up and take him to the Hospital in Helena.By the time I get there his leg has swollen up to 75 inches around(this a guy that only weighs 150lbs soaking wet)rush him to the emergency room and they are talking amputation,cause it is so infected,well Rob will have none of that so the do some tests on him.Come to find out he is allergic to the brown stuff that gall put on his leg.Well after 2 weeks of not moving his leg went back to normal,and come to find out the "zzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZ!!"noise was the knife sliding down the tent ridge.
So there is my IT Happened To me Story.
