OMG...I'm such a klutz!

Electric hedge trimmers and fingers are not a good combination. We just spent several hours in the emergency room trying to put me back together. It will take up to 3 months to know what kind of permanent damage was done I was doing soooo great with my weight training. Now I'm out of commission for several weeks again! I'm so depressed. Wanda

Oh, no, Wanda! What happened?? How were you able to type????? I'm SO sorry! Hey, I thought the coritsone shot in my wrist was bad today. Poor, baby! CeCe

OMG is right!!!!! What actually happened Wanda???? It sounds like you wacked off all your fingers.... I sure do hope that is not the case.... I will keep you in my prayers.... You are supposed to keep your hands away from those moving blades..... OMG!!!!! I can't even begin to imagine what you did..... HUGS, Shawn M.

OK, let me clarify a little. I was heavily medicated when I yped this last night. I did not cut my fingers off. I cut three fingers. They are rough jagged cuts by hedge trimmer blades. My fingers got caught up in the moving blades. The ER doc stitched them up but he didn't really care much about the appearance, so I will probably have a jagged mess when they are healed. I lost a lot of blood and everyone in the ER was grossed out by me! That was weird to have people react that way by your appearance. The fingers looked a little bent, but the x-ray didn't show a fracture. I haven't looked at the wounds since I've been home. The gauze is stuck to the wounds and I'm afraid to pull it off. I'll have one of the nurses at work take care of it for me tomorrow. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as I remember it to be! I'm so mad at myself! I can't believe this happened. We have a $5,000 deductable on our insurance and we met it within the last two days! Randy had a scope done and they found two ulcers. I just made them worse, I'm sure! Wanda

Oh Wanda! That sounds painful! Are you handling the pain ok? I hope it all heals well and is not as scary looking as you think. Hugs to you.
