....Which is why I'm typing this with my left hand and only 1 finger on my right hand. Got this big honking bandage/splint around first 2 fingers on my right hand which is covering up the open fracture on my index finger (AKA my TRIGGER FINGER!!!!)and a bunch of stiches.
Smooshed it between a dock plate and the floor of my semi trailer this afternoon in Topeka. Had to get taken to the emergency room...broker had to find another truck to handle my load to Chicago, wife had to drive 85 miles to pick me up (shipper is letting me leave my truck there till I'm back in the saddle).
The E Doc said it was kinda like sewing up a ruptured hotdog from the microwave. He thinks it'll be OK, but wants me to go my regular doc plus an ortho doc. We're on that tomorrow.
BTW, got me some jammin' pain drugs...Lortabs. Working really swell, too!!
The part that hurt worst was getting the Lidocaine shots before the sutures. Yeoooow!
Did I mention the swell mellow pain drugs?
?
Now for a week or so of R&R. Bad news is no shooting for awhile.
