So right before Pride weekend of 2015, Schnooboo cut his leg.

It all started with us messing around in the kitchen while I was doing the dishes. He walked by the handle and immediately the handle sliced the side of his calf. It was really quick and he said that he didn’t even feel it.

All of a sudden all of this blood came pouring out. It was really scary because it was a big cut. Little “VIKI” ended up licking a little of his blood.

I bandaged him up as best as I could and we took a taxi over to St. Vincents hospital near 14th street.

He ended up getting five stitches to close the cut. He said the most painful part was the shot to numb his leg before the stitches.

I was really amazed by how quickly it all went down. We walked in around midnight and after about 45 minutes he was stitched up and out the door. I remember when I “deli sliced” my thumb with an X-acto blade I waited in the ER for around three hours in queens. It was bizarre. They basically told me there was nothing that they could do since the skin was sliced off and there was nothing to stitch closed.

I guess living in Manhattan has it’s perks. :-)
