So far I have been able to go to his appointments with him. I think it really helps b/c then we remember all of the questions we need to ask & we both hear the treatment instructions so we remember better what we are supposed to do.<br />Carrie, I had to laugh when you 'edited' your comment :-) I'm sure Jim didn't want anyone to think he was stupid enough to stick his fingers in a planer :-) Mike doesn't want anyone to think he is stupid or careless either. Accidents happen; that's all there is to it! I hope that both Jim & Mike can stay safe & that Jim has steady work for a long time! Thanks for sharing some of his experiences with me so that I can share them with Mike :-)Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403083611514935619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-89012768485000335192010-08-18T06:58:00.740-04:002010-08-18T06:58:00.740-04:00Oops, Jim just read my comment and informed me I g...Oops, Jim just read my comment and informed me I got several things wrong, LOL. :) He said it was his JOINER, not the planer that he hurt his fingers in--he said that to get his fingers caught in a planer he would have to stick them inside it, which would equal great stupidity on his part. :D Also, apparently in the tree incident it was not a limb, but a small tree caught in the larger tree that fell on him--and it only knocked him DOWN, not OUT. (Funny, all these years and I always thought it knocked him out!) Anyway, just wanted to "edit" that! :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-61771252493834761982010-08-17T22:13:59.790-04:002010-08-17T22:13:59.790-04:00YIKES, how scary!!! I am so glad he's OK and ...YIKES, how scary!!! I am so glad he's OK and that it wasn't any worse. Bad enough, though! Jim had a run-in with his planer a while back and gashed a couple of fingers pretty badly. Not enough to require stitches, though. Those power tools definitely make me nervous!!<br /><br />About 7 years ago, Jim had an incident happen while he was clearing our land, where he was cutting down a tree and dropped a large limb on his head. It knocked him out for a few moments, and when he came to, he realized it was pretty bad and got himself to the ER as quick as possible. I knew nothing about it (this was before he had a cell phone) till the nurse called me from the ER to let me know what was going on. By that time they had him all stapled up and he was OK . . . but it took a while for his head to heal. The top of it looked pretty scary in the meantime! <br /><br />Anyway, all that to say that I can relate a little bit to the injured husband scenario . . . and I'm very thankful for God's protection on our guys!! I hope Mike's finger heals well and quickly and that it's not too frustrating for him, getting used to life with a little bit of finger missing. It's good that he's able to take some time off work to recover. :)Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00159961811540152967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-87867382112088708702010-08-17T19:55:34.297-04:002010-08-17T19:55:34.297-04:00Back in Minnesota I interpreted for a lady who los...Back in Minnesota I interpreted for a lady who lost the topsegment of her finger. Not a pretty site. Make sure he follows doctors orders. Hers got infected and she almost lost the next segment too. It makes me shutter just thinking about it. I hope it heals quickly for him.ExploreColoradohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07959963840576012067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314837374154681298.post-17096350956523085912010-08-17T15:23:52.209-04:002010-08-17T15:23:52.209-04:00WOW - I'm so glad he's okay!
