Guess what I did

in just a matter of seconds??I broke my finger in 3 places,ripped off the nail and cut the sides.I got it caught in a feed auger today.Ended up in the emergency room.Couldn't believe it when the dr said it was broken but its just at the tip part of the finger.It's a bad sign when you hear the dr in hallway looking at your xray saying WOW!!!I had 5 stitches on the sides where I cut it and the nail had to be sewn back on.Drs inital diagnosis was"that is painful!!".Luckily dh was still home when it happened and I made it to the chicken house he was working in. At that point I almost passed out.He got me to the house and to the ER. I had a wonderful dr.Apparently the only thing that saved my finger was the nail so I was very lucky.The dr finished taking the nail off and wondered if I wanted to see just how far down I had cut before he sewed me up but I just couldn't look.My thankful for today is having all my fingers and nice drs and pain medication.

Farm machinery is so dangerous. What does a feed auger do when it's not looking for royal fingers to munch?

OMG, Patty! You poor thing! How scary. Thank goodness you still have all your fingers like you said. How did you manage type?
Glad you are all patched up now and have some pain pills to make you a little more comfortable.
Take care of yourself!!
Hugs.

Oh, Patty, I gasped and winced when I read your post!!! I can't imagine how scary and painful that must have been. I will add to my thankfuls today that it was just that and not the loss of your finger!! Take care. Now, I think you should milk that injury for all it's worth and get as much TLC from your guys as possible.
Big hugs,
Rhonda
