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.

Ok soooooo......why am I picturing similarities to tripping on pipes in hangers.....hmmmmmmmmmm

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yes, Jet and her hubby are two peas in a pod.

LOLOLOL!!!  That’s right!!!  I had forgotten about the pipes in the hangar!!!  LOL. He did bring that up a couple weeks ago.  I reminded him that he could have saved himself a whole lot of aggravation had they cut the darned thing off after the first trip, stumble, and fall!!!  Better late than never!!

It does get humid out here.  I am not looking forward to it this summer.

OUCH!!!!  Glad that you still have good movement in your fingers.

Difference is that the dog just happened to be int he way and I came around the corner, didn’t know he was there, and POW!!!  At least I didn’t fall on the floor!!!  Dog is 100# so he isn't moving too fast!!

Yes, but little finger is a problem.  I have a bone chip from when I was about 20 in the first knuckle so it is kinda bent, and last year I tripped over the dog, caught myself in a door jamb and the lower two knuckles hurt like crazy for quite a while.  I can finally straighten the finger (but not the tip due to the bone chip.  So the little finger can be a problem!!  I can use it for typing and all other activities but I spent a lot of time while it was healing straightening it so as to try to prevent arthritis getting too bad.  I think I won that battle reasonably well.

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...

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

The way it was cut could have been really bad had it gone farther.

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????

No…I don’t think so.  It got pretty swollen for about 10 days but as soon as the swelling started to go down the pain was much less.There are no lumps or bumps like where the bone chip is…and both of the lower knuckles work fine.  I think I got lucky!!!

yes you really did.....just glad it doesn't affect your quilting.....any new projects going????   and how are your plans for your anniversary trip going
