OUCH!!!! Glad that you still have good movement in your fingers.
When I hit the door jamb, it was just a split second reaction to the trip on the dog. I went from whatever the walking pace was to a dead stop!! Glad I sacrificed the finger and didn’t hit my head or face. Could have been a lot worse.
I absolutely love him, and he’s an incredible person. We have this friendship that I have no doubt in my mind is a life-long friendship. Getting a chance to know him away from training for Dancing With the Stars, I think we've gotten a chance to know each other in a different way, which of course just makes you closer. Meryl

Fortunately not…it sorta just drags along!! There is no pain now and really no lack of mobility. The chip at the top of the finger was from playing volleyball!!!
do you think you had broken it and just didn't realize it????

How is his hand/arm doing?Well his arm is doing ok his hand especially the little finger on that left hand he says always feels cold and he doesn't have the grip in it that he did prior to the heart surgery.

It is funny how much you don't realize how your fingers effect what you do with your hands. So his little finger and the thumb on the left hand are the pits...
Ah, it is. It's the first day of autumn! A time for hot chocolatety mornings, and toasting marshmallow evenings, as best of all, leaping into *leaves*!

Yes it could have been, so glad that it was just a hurt finger.
Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.

Re: It's 2022 Lets see what this year brings
So our son and family are moving to TN in June after HS graduation!!! 🙄☹️. I guess we will have to fly out to visit them at some point!!! Son leaving a really great management job in aerospace to let his wife support them!!! LOL. He does have a backup plan but it won’t pay a whole bunch. They just felt the need to get out of The People’s Republic of California…and can’t say we blame them. We would consider it but at this stage of life not sur eit would be wise—-if we consider friends, other relatives, etc.
Oh goodness.....TN is beautiful though.....and it'll give you reasons to tour our east coast between TN and Va
That is true! TN is a state I haven’t been to….yet!
It is and has a lot of beautiful things to see there.

That is really too bad. That was a tragic accident. Those table saws can do damage very quickly.
