I just got back from the hospital.
While working on the Riverview set for next week with KT, I ran a nail through my thumb. They’re only 15 guage finishing nails, so it’s not like there was a giant wound or anything, but there was some blood.
After laughing for like 15 minutes and then doing some more work KT and I decided we should tell Tara [ok, she decided we should, I wanted to finish our project. But I went anyway.] After waiting at the hospital for an hour and some change, I got to see a nurse, then a doctor, then another nurse, then the X-Ray tech, then the doctor again, then another nurse who gave me a shot and another nurse who put a splint on my thumb.
It’s not broken. The nail went through my thumb right proper, but somehow went between the two bones. Overall, it was a good experience, and I’m glad I got to go, but I wish they’d shown me the x-ray, I really wanted to see the bones in my hand.
I only get to leave the splint on for a couple days.
You and papa should coauthor a book together.

Nathan –
Was your tetanus shot up to date???
If not, I assume they gave you one?
Hope this is covered by your new health
insurance. We’ve been to St Lawrence -
4 babies and a table saw incident. Nice
folks
Love you, Mum

Sounds like a short book.
Had to get a tetanus shot, its actually bothering me more than my thumb is.
My health insurance doesn’t actually take effect until September.

That ain’t crap- Rip the tendon off your ring finger and have your friend cut your wedding band off, go thru 2 surgeries and still not be able to get full use out of it after 9 months, THEN talk to me.
