Ready to join the gimpy club -- at least as a family member.
Spouse got hurt working with son on the field tractor and mower. Cut his finger about a quarter inch below his finger nail and son said the nail stood up from there. Also smashed the bone. Doctor took off his nail and put stitches in the cut. Said he will need physical therapy to keep from permanent damage to the finger/hand muscles and antibiotics since cuts down to the bone are easily prone to infections.
At least it was his left hand. Orders are to do nothing with the hand for ten days. Start therapy tomorrow morning. And make appointment with hand specialist. NOT a good afternoon!
On the other hand, (no pun intended, but it works here) my new perm and hair-do look great, IMHO. Of course, I was gone getting my hair done when the accident happened.
