Crazy Month

This month is all sorts of crazy! First I had a medical scare with pain on my right side which just turned out to be an infection. Then we got lost in the Uintas, but still had fun! I hurt my foot on that hike so I still have a hurt toe. Things were going good this week....I was loving my job more than I thought I could (how many of us can say we love our jobs?). Then it turned around completely Thursday morning. I woke up to make David a tuna fish sandwich, the usual. I was using our Pampered Chef gadget to drain the tuna. I got the first can done and got his sandwich made so he wouldn't be late. I moved onto the 2nd can and the gadget got stuck and it was in there good. David tried to get it out and broke one of the sides off...great. He left for work so I kept trying to get it out with every tool I had, still no luck! So I decided to try and cut the bottom with a knife and try to push it out that way (I AM accident prone with knives!) I got a hole in the can and as I was trying the knife slipped and cut my finger. I knew right away it was bad as it bled all over. I washed it out then got toilet paper to put pressure on it, even though paper towels were closer. I bled through that so I grabbed an old towel to apply pressure then called David to tell him to meet me at the hospital. On my way out I realized I still wasn't wearing a bra under my white shirt so I grabbed that and put it on as I went down the stairs. I got to the hospital and waited. They saw me and had to call the hand surgeon since I cut through most of my tendon. I fell asleep then was told I had to go to IMC and he would operate on my finger between his other surgeries. I drove to IMC with it wrapped up knowing I had to hurry to get to work still. I got checked in and got a wonderful nurse who got me food and a drink. I relaxed a bit then waited 2 hours for the surgeon. In short he figured what needed to be done and did it. I am glad I was numb through all this. Then he made a splint for me so I don't rip it againt before it heals. It all looks worse than it is. I am just lucky to have David who is so sweet! He came home and cared for me and has been cooking and doing dishes. I am so lucky! I am ready for this to be over!
