Sorry I have been unreachable for the last few days. Was at the Dr. The other day getting a toe "filleted". Back in August I was fishing off watch hill and whipped a porgy into the boat. Dorsal fin ended off breaking off in several places in my toes. Dr ended up finding a half inch thick piece after digging for awhile plus a big chunk of dead tissue. Got a bunch of stitches. No more flip flops on the boat!

Tonight I was gluing some Copps frags into the reef and instead of using a hammer to break up some dry rock for montipora I used an old rusty carving knife I had laying around. Bad move. Nearly took off the top of my thumb. Thought about a trip to the ER but since I had superglue handy I decided to glue it together. I think I am ok for tetanus? The shots last like 5 years right? I recall getting one 2 years ago when I caught a hand in the snowblower...but that's another story.

Boy I don't sound very smart now do I?

Omg man your gonna look like an old tech school shop teacher. Missing a few fingers, one thumb an half a foot lol. Pretty sure a tetanus shot is good for five years man. Might wanna give your doc a call to be on the safe side to get the date of your last shot.

If I remember right I got my shot a year before I stepped on the nail in the board and my doc said it was needed for anouther on so I would call and check. U caught my eye with the body work lol in a autobody tech thought someone needed some work. And super glue stitching always grows back funny it dosnt have the give the stuff the docs use :)

a tetanus shot will "lose" is availabliity to protect depending on how many times and extent it had to fight for you. better to check with dr's.

If you can't remember the last tetanus shot date you are better off getting another shot.
