Ouch: OT

Well ouch is what I meant to say, some how a few other colorful words filled
the air.

The nerves in my left thumb have started to settle down so that I can grasp
something between my thumb and index digit without going into orbit and then
yesterday.....

I picked up a fairly long board that had a few nails sticking in or out of
it.
I threw it in the general direction of the scrap bin.
Instead of going into the bin it bounced back and one of the nails went
through my right arm just behind the wrist.
Pulled the board and nail off arm - more colorful words like gosh darn it!

The nail was about 2 inches long and very rusty so it was off to a medical
clinic for a tetanus shot, some anti-biotics and a cooling off period! The
swelling is directly proportional to my disposition.

At the moment I am not a happy camper, stitcher or cabinet maker!!

Oops. Having had a major problem with my hands cramping if I try to pick
up anything heavier then a slice of bread, and not being able to do more
then a few stitches at a time without a serious problem, you have my
deepest sympathy and wishes for a very quick, very successful recovery.

Ouch, big ouch. So sorry to hear of your mishap. Hoping it will heal well,
and quickly. Ummm, take long walks or something to use up that
cabinetmaking-stitching energy!

This made me cringe just to read it! Hope you are healing quickly!

Hey Fred, is this just a natural talent you have or did you need to
practice for a bit first? Glad to hear you got the tetANUS shot -- ya
suppose they call it that for a reason (r&d&h)? CiaoMeow ^;;^

And as is so often the case with accidents, if someone had asked you to do
that deliberately, you couldn't have. Ouch indeed--hope you are healed up
soon.

Ooooo, ouch is right! Good ol' Murphy is at it again, I see. I hope
DW has a least a *little* compassion and is giving you some extra
tlc. Take care of that arm, Fred.

VBS -- I know that but just think about it. Which part of your brain
were you using when you did that? It certainly wasn't the part in your
head but most likely the one in your nether regions. AS for the missing
cookies, what type of cookies does your good friend Bud Weiser prefer?
Perchance the kind with the funny twisted shape and salt all over the
top would be best. And where was Casey (I must apologize -- I'm not
sure this is the new doggies name -- BAD Tia) during all of this? You
should have let him lick the boo-boo -- dog spit has magical healing
powers, ya know!! (((Fred))) I'm glad that you are doing better and the
puncture (did it let any of your hot air out?) is healing properly.
