And I know it's a little crispy, but I like it that way.

RULE 29? Nobody told me about no stinking rules. Next you are going to want me to send dues to Wayne or something. It's only burnt on one end.

Imagine your own left thumb, the saw blade penetrated the thumb at the knuckle closest to the thumbnail. The blade failed to sever the thumb by about 1/4 to 1/3 of the width of his thumb.

Knuckle was rendered useless for future use. Tendons were severed. Major blood vessel was missed by a few mm. He was cleaned and sewed up on Sunday and faces surgery this coming week to deal with tendons and putting a rod in his thumb. It will no longer bend except at the base of the thumb.

Lots of pain and heavy meds until then. Probably no rehab since rehab will not help the useless tip. Your prayers would be appreciated.

Prayers your way Steve.

Thanx all for the healing ohms. It's been one heck of a couple of days.

Steve and Maryann, many ooooommmms and healing thoughts your way for SIL. What a dreadful thing to have happen! As a friend of ours told Martin, life sometimes makes a sudden turn, without even a turn signal. I wish him well as he goes through this.

All the best!

Steve and Maryanne we will keep your SIL and all of you in our prayers. I can relate somewhat but I was luckier than him. I did same thing same way but only cut off the tip on my thumb. Luckily they re- attached the tip of my thumb and other than no feeling in the end of my thumb and a scar I am fine. But when that happened every time my heart beat my thumb felt like a balloon expanding and deflating. Hope they gave him some strong pain meds.

and I thought it was just thoughless drivers who did that...healing prayers offered for him and for Mike who can fix anything and needs to get his rest and pain meds so he can fix himself....

Steve and Mary Ann -- many Ommms headed towards your SIL. Few things hurt more than damaged fingers, except maybe throats. I've been down both those roads.

Diane -- enjoy your nap curtesty of anesthesiology tomorrow morning. I sure never missed my gallbladder and I'm betting you be glad when yours is gone.

At this rate all of RVMdom will be on pain meds by Memorial Day. Y'all be careful out there!

[Dunner]

So here is how it works. My meds are due at 8. I call at 8, but don't get them till 8:30. That means that I can't request them until 2:30 (every 6 hours), which means I won't get them till 3:00. That half hour makes a difference. Nurse can't seem to grasp it.

I realize it is because of work load, but it still sucks. Quit whining Dunner.

[Possum]

Papawto5, I send all the healing Ohhmmmsss I can muster and wish him as much luck as I had when I darn near cut my right index finger off with a table saw last fall. It healed beyond the expectations of my doctor and I have almost 100% use of it now. They expected me to have almost no use of it when they were working on putting it back together. Bodies sometimes do the unexpected when healing.


Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My grandson sends y'all this picture of how to build the perfect BLT.

Papa Steve (sorry but at the GC that's what I would call you when Mary and I were talking, so as not to confuse you with the Plano Steve) we'll sent a few words out to the Big Guy. We'll start with thanks that s-I-l is still with us and all parts still attached. That could have been much worse than it is.

[huntnski]

Ok am I missing something here? Looking back I've seen post from pretty much all GC attendees, including Tom N Jan, but Jeanie and Dave where are you?

Thread seems kind of quit without you, also Ray and wife!
