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.

Oh Patty! You just sent shivers right up my spine just thinking about it so can't imagine going through it! Glad to hear that Rick was there to help you out. Take care of yourself and hope those pain pills work well!

Lots of big hugs,

Susan
