There is no better way to spend a Friday evening than at the local emergency room. That’s what Tom & I did this last Friday.
I was sitting in the dinning room playing with my Webkinz and he comes in from the garage stating: “Call Dr. B, you have to take me to the emergency room.” (We have new insurance and I didn’t think I had to call the Dr. I figured if I did the first visit wrong I could play dumb. I did try to call the insurance co. Saturday, but they were closed. When I got hold of them Monday we found out that our local hospital is in the “network” so everything should be covered.)
Back to Tom and what he did. He was in the garage building easels for the Grandchildren. He was using the router table and the peace of wood took off on him. He “chewed up” the 3rd and 4th digit (middle and ring finger) nicely. I will not show pictures. He will not lose any fingers, he just removed a couple of small chunks from each finger. At least this time he didn’t almost go into shock. I think because the weather was cooler, I had the outside air blowing on him and his window open. Also I kept repeating “Keep your hand above your heart!” We both take aspirin so bleeding can be an issue.
Our nurse was a young lady who’s father did the contract work on our house 20+ years ago. It’s hard to think of the kids growing up. It was good to see her and check up on how her folks are doing.
I did have the presence of mind to grab some knitting. So I got quite a few rows done on my sweater! It’s now middriff length. It’s getting there. 
And I have finished one sock and have almost all the ribbing done on the second one.
We had a very nice Easter dinner at Roger and JessaLu’s. The food was fabulous, as usual. She cooks like her Father.
Well that’s about it for now. We will be going to Amanda’s this weekend. It’s been 3 months since we saw all of them. I’ll bet Kailey has changed a lot!
Have a great day and Happy Knitting!
Good God!!! I’m glad that everything is OK, but yeesh! No more of this. You have both had enough time in the ER for one lifetime, I think.
Seriously, though. I’m really glad that Tom is OK. I have several relatives who’ve done construction work lose digits. Never fun…
well, now those easels are going to be darn special now aren’t they! Love ya Dad!
Really? that guy who I can’t remember his name, maybe it was Rick? That built the deck? How neat!
Glad that Dad is ok, your sweater is looking great though! Can’t wait to see you guys, the kids cleaned out the playroom today so you might actually have a place to sleep if it doesn’t get trashed tomorrow.
Oh, yikes! Glad he’s okay.
Hope the sweater is farther along. Oh, and Tom has healed.
