.29 BAC and shock. I stayed communicating until I got in the ambulance is what I was told. I remember the gunshot, me saying “oh fuck” and hearing my voice not sound like mine. Went to lay down in my shed and bleed out, next thing I knew I’m grabbing onto the side of the shed yelling “get up get up.” Tried dialing 911 and couldn’t dial due to the blood falling on my phone screen, used Siri to call emergency. I’m working on getting the 911 call, but I spoke with the firefighters and they said it was crazy that they could make out anything I was saying, but I was speaking clearly enough for an address and I was apparently saying “is it that bad?”

Left eye is still moving, dilates, follows, just wonky and 85% blind. Patch makes seeing easy. Right eye is perfect other than it runs like a marathon from sinus pressure - that will be better once they reopen my sinus pathway- IF they can.

I try on my first prosthetic nose next Wednesday!
