Hope you heal up soon and completly. Like others have said, thanks for telling your story. I imagine it will be a tough few weeks with the use of only one hand. They will probably recomend a little rehab to get things started when it has healed up some.

They have told me I will be needing therapy with the fingers 2 more weeks and more stays and maybe take out some pins but we will have to see . If the X-ray pics don't convince people I have before pictures

It takes a brave man to share his mistakes. (We all make em). Thanks for the reminder of safety. As much as we like to think it won't happen to "us" , stories like this should make a wise man think and remember to stay focused.
Hoping for a full recovery.

When the little voice in your head says,

"DON'T DO IT. YOU'RE GONNA GET BIT."

Listen carefully, and obey the little voice.
Don't ask me how I know.

I think my little voice was off getting coffee or going p this particular moment LOL Oh and just FYI the boys were fine in the house my 7 year old was a rock star handling the situation.

Thanks for the post and best of luck with your recovery. It is a great reminder and refresher for all of us on safety, it can never be stressed enough as to how fast something can go wrong. Think all of us can remember instances where we had an "almost" but walked away unscathed.
Heal fast...:thumbsup:

Yep...it always could have been worse, too. Consider the young guy in this news story:

I'd add to keeping pets and children inside keeping a eye out for pedestrians and kibitzers.

I was working with my BH, with just a few hours in the seat, when my tenant's boyfriend sauntered along the side of the tractor and walked right past the BH. He was well within the arc of the boom and I could have really done him some harm if I had't see him at the last moment.

I didn't like him before, and I sure didn't like him more after that.
