about 10:00 am this morning at work, I got my right index finger caught between a macine motor and side frame that I was repairing.....it stopped hurting in a split second and blood was every where so I assumed that my right index finger was GONE !!!! wrapped it up and was taken to the hospital where they looked at it, x rayed and gave me the news......the doctor who knew that I am a bow shooter ,told me ..." it's not to bad and I can save it all"...long story, short.......compression tissue damage, 5 stitches inside, six outside...no broken bone.....said that I should be shooting again in three or four weeks.....THANK YOU LORD !!!!!!

God is good.....all the time T Lail! What a blessing there wasn't more damage. May still be a little tender in 3 to 4, but that surely beats the heck outta 3-4 months!

Oh wow Tony!!! I'm glad you're gonna be ok. I know that had to give you a terrible scare. Again, VERY glad it's going to be ok.

Good news. I'm glad that you'll be back at it instead of "backin' out of it".

Yeah, that's always a scary moment, especially for those whom hand dexterity is a big deal. I work with my hands and have had a few close calls. I've had buddies who weren't so lucky. Thank God you're o.k.!

Find an Occupational Therapist, preferably a Certified Hand Therapist in the area. Rehab will help your recovery.

When I was 16 working in a gas station, I told a guy his fanbelt was lose,He said, WHAT? I said "YOUR FAN BELTS LOOSE" and pointed to it with my gloved finger (the engine was running). Bad mistake, finger went between the generator and the belt 3 times before I could pull it out.
Lesson learned. Don't point!!! :D

Sometimes I think the careless get an extra dose of protection. My wife was mowing the lawn when I was out of town on a business trip. She reached under the rotary mower to pull out a clump of wet grass. She felt a hard blow to her fingers and was afraid to look down, knowing some of them would be gone. The slanted flat of the blade whacked her a good one, but didn't even break the skin. I think she did it on purpose to make sure I did the lawn mowing before leaving in the future.

Glad to hear you're gonna be okay. Just took a guy to the hospital yesterday that ripped his forearm open with a chop saw, yikes.

Glad you're alright and you'll be ready for turkey's.
