Boys, I'm out
« on: September 24, 2017, 01:32:58 pm »
I did something pretty stupid a few weeks ago, as I was cutting up some chicken for supper I tried sticking my knife in the cutting board and my greasy hand slipped and rode the blade all the way down severing my flexor tendon in my pinky. It's been about a week since my surgery and I'm mending well, but will miss hunting season this year. I'll be doing physical therapy for 8-12 weeks. Even then Doc says I may lose some dexterity in my finger. Worse yet, bow making is a no go for awhile.  I digress, I am lucky to have a finger. Anyone up for some graphic pics?

Oglala,
You are supposed to be the cutter, not the cutee!  Self surgery is not a good habit!  Follow doc's orders and remember PT really means pain and torture, not necessarily physical therapy >:D. Get well quickly.

The real test is not pushing the envelope and pretend like it's not an injury, which I'm prone to doing.  Physical therapy and rest is the recommendation. Doc says, it's just one of those things that happens. In any case, Clint has been kind enough to upload the gruesome pics you monsters are wanting to see. Proof is in the pudding I guess.

Thanks Paul. I'm taking it all in stride. It does make for a cool story for my students. My versions change depending on what class I'm teaching. For example, k-2 goes something like this. I was rescuing kittens from a burning building and got hurt. Grades 3-5 is I got hurt shattering bricks in my dojo. And of course grades 6-8 is that I thwarted some muggers from attacking an old lady. I have to make the best of it somehow.  JW thanks for the offer
