Hello all. thought I would fill you in on Arvins day yesterday. Was normal until about 3:30 when he was cutting a piece of trim board with the miter box saw, and all of the sudden he felt a pull and something went wrong. He pulled back his hand and thought wow that hurt, then looked at his finger Oops!! John, the guy he was working with, said that it wasn't good so he had better go in. He he came home and walked in the house with his hand in the air with a number of bloody (and dirty) rags wrapped around his hand. He said"say dear I think you need to take me in" So off to the clinic in Pipestone where the numbed it up and took a better look at it, and said you hit the bone so you will have to go on to a surgeon to get that taken care of. So off we go to Sioux Falls to an orthopedic Dr. They took an x-ray, and yes the bone had been hit. So Dr. Zolnar took good care of him. They actually took some more bone away and cut away some nail bed and more flesh inside so they had something to stitch closed. It was straight across so he will have a shorter finger!! So he has to keep it up, dry and clean until Tuesday when we go back, and he will take a look at it again. He is on some pain pills and is doing o.k. So he will have a story for Zoe about waiting for her to be born, can blame it on "something else on his minds!"
Take care everyone Delaine
