It was before noon, (gonna get LOTS done today) and I had just finished the ceiling fan in the family room and was climbing DOWN from my ladder - to move on to the LAST light fixture -(small one in the kitchen) -when Bob came flying in the backdoor ----- his thumb had gotten tangled up in the table saw...
WELL anyone who knows me...(like my sons).... knows that I am NOT very good in situations like this! I couldn't find anything to wrap around his thumb...first I brought a bath towel, then decided a wash cloth would be sufficient...then I'm yelling - just get in the car, just get in the car....as I am looking for shoes and realizing that I do not even know how to get to the hospital....we get to the car and as soon as I start it, the little bell that tells me I am almost out of gas goes ding ding ding .........at which time I said POOP (or something similar) - to make a long story a little shorter, Bob suggested we stop at the clinic in town first to see if they can stitch it up ..... after a couple of hours and 9 stitches, we were back home to continue with our work.
I finished #14 .......
and Bob painted the porch (notice the thumb) - can't take a day off, time is quickly running out before the home tour, AND a couple being married at the Methodist chuch this weekend want to have pics taken on our porch, so he wants it to be looking GOOD!!
He worked so hard this afternoon that his bandage came off - - -
Don't ya just love this face?? Anyone who has said to their sweetie, "just one shot for the blog" will understand this face...
ANYWAY, before Bob stuck the bandage back on, he says take a pic of the thumb-----
so if you do not want to see a YUKKY looking thumb, now is the time to click the close button!
It is a very nasty cut for sure - it goes right down into his nail on the other side. Hopefully it heals quickly - we both know he is very lucky to still have his thumb.....he said he was being soooo careful and still it happended.......
AND that was our day!!!

ewwwwww...that thumb picture is just nasty!!! I am he stills has a thumb. =) The house...I am sure is loking great. =)
As a young lad I did everything in my power to prepare her for times like this .... Sorry Bob, I guess I didn't do quite enough..(Be careful if she gets to close to that finger, she may try to grab it, forgetting the injury.) As a side note the house is looking great and the chandeliers really sparkle when freshly cleaned ... its almost worth the work !!
